Too late to kiss and make up and think about one nation under God?The Syrian model is closer. But there I think it is neighborhood against neighborhood. Here looks like it will be some of that but some simple neighbor against neighbor.

Seems to me like most or at least many many many want no God.Time is a great healer but many are too impatient to wait (and sometimes they are right). Prayer, the knowledge of God and repentance will heal America. A liberal and godless agenda pushed down our throats will not.
I hope not. But it seems less and less stable. More and more crazy. Polite people are not in my face about it. But neither do they seem anchored in the constitution any more.Do you really think so? It seems to me that you need an echo chamber to end up with real radicalization, and I don't see that happening where there's actual contact between different points of view.
Don't know. We seem to have to pick polarizing camps. I suppose we can just refuse to go to either one.Too late to kiss and make up and think about one nation under God?
One big happy family....not any more. I wouldn't be surprised if God was acting against abortion.....Don't know. We seem to have to pick polarizing camps. I suppose we can just refuse to go to either one.
But I think 'one nation under God' is even a trigger point for many.
It looks like there is division in the US. Some violence also.
Could anything be done to stop it?

They better be well armedMaybe the UN will have to send in peace keepers. Like North Koreans.
I guess the forces that want the US divided are those that want to destroy it.We have become a country of narcissists. We need a massive transformation through altruism.
I don't find liberals or warmongers to be moral. Not sure a majority remains of others..“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” (John Adams, October 11, 1798.)
We are becoming more inadequate every day, sadly.
Even so .... come Lord Jesus.
Time. I believe the Trimp demographic is generally older and almost exclusively white. As immigration and old age take their toll, things will normalize.
Sure. If the demonstration is not peaceable, send in the riot police.It looks like there is division in the US. Some violence also.

I mean, I've lost faith. That's why I ditched secular humanism and started nosing around in this neck of the woods instead. The checks and balances in this country were very cleverly set up, and they more or less worked for two centuries, but from a constitutional perspective, I think the system is at serious risk of failing, if it hasn't already. Whether it can be salvaged, I'm not sure, but the legitimacy of any government is tied to the trust that people have in it. That can be a fragile thing.
Seems to me that if most of the press were owned and operated by biased parties with an agenda, that there is no free speech.Sure. If the demonstration is not peaceable, send in the riot police.
Other than that censure Senators like Diane Feinstein for breaking the rules of decorum.
And remind people over and over and over how the MSM is pushing out fake news for the Democratic party over and over and over again, until journalists are shamed by their lack of professional integrity.
The answer to Fox news cannot be for the MSM to be the leftist version of Fox on steroids.
The danger there is when both sides call each other Nazis and racists.You were mentioning how the leftist can be just as shrill and intolerant but I think alot of that is a reaction to the frustration people feel with having a well-connected, powerful, anti-humanist, politically active religious-based movement in the US that makes having reasonable conversations very difficult. Because there's so much dogma and ideology in politics as a result. So some people have given in to despair and just opt for the more radical rhetoric and "punch a fascist" type stuff.
My trust in the constitution has been based on the checks and balances it contained. And the liberties that were listed as coming not from that piece of paper but from God. Problem with the constitution is that it presumed a sort of Christian society that we no longer have. With the new secular and increasingly godless society that which was necessary to make that piece of paper work is less and less available to the society. As to trust, I think it's generally shaken and the institutions are more insecure than ever. The Senate? The Presidency? I could laugh. Sorry.But why be anchored in the Constitution? It's just a piece of paper. If it works, great. If it doesn't, then try to fix it. There are institutional mechanisms by which that can be done. The key is faith in the legitimacy of the very institutions, and that is something that is getting more and more shaken.
