We Cannot Come Together With Trump Voters Who Will Double Down On Racism/Bigotry.

The country is fractured, divided and fractious. I really do not see us coming together as a country any time soon. We are dealing with incorrigibles who are not redeemable as far as I am concerned. You cannot resurrect dead souls. The divide looks permanent.

I hope I am wrong with this feeling, but when I survey the country I am not optimistic. Hate radio and FOX will work on driving the wedges deeper.

It really does suck . There is nothing I want to have in common with racists, bigots, those embracing hatred as an ideology

The blue coasts vs the red middle. Let them go it alone. No more blue state money supporting the red states. If they want to despoil their communities and make people sick let'em do it and provide them no healthcare. If they want a Wild West gun culture let them shoot each other. Give people a year to move to blue Or red states then let us separate. I am sick of a state like Wyoming with 800,000 having the same senate representation as California with 30 million. I am 100% for the country splitting up.

But then turn around and say Muslim Americans are not citizens, that people from/perceived to be south of the border don't belong here, that minorities and women are second class... no, there is no uniting with that and us keeping our principles.

Racism, sexism, a return to the past is not going to happen. They are the long term losers.
