And we have to get some control over the disinformation constantly pushed by the MSM. The old adage "If it bleeds it still leads" guides CNN and MSNBC every bit as much as local news. Only the "blood" is America's through dramatization and magnification beyond all reality of all problems and disagreements. This very much includes denial of all commonality between groups in order to create angry divisions from what would have been mostly frowns and shrugs.

Some among Republican leaders will fight with us because we are in an existential crisis, or as Biden just reminded a battle for the soul of America. Others, the ones who should never be allowed to have power, will fight it with all they have. Because thei rlies are literally they only way they can get 330 million people to agree to destroy not just their own prosperity and safety but much of what once made them proud to be Americans.
