What solution? I have a few friends and family just like you. Every conversation ends up in fight of who is right. My ideals of common ground and civil behavior is sadly just a fantasy. Your group is too far gone. If I can't connect to people that are my own blood and friends that use to have each others back then there is little hope. Once you go down the path of "will fight to the end for my principles" there is just no return to any desire to find common ground. Maybe two years ago I had the time and energy to try and convince you that life is too short to live and die for foolish principles but I have seen and heard just about enough of the BS. I have argued with Poppaj about this very thing. He was right. I was wrong. It is a very unfortunate reality for America. We are divided and there is NO solution! We will fight and our quality of life will deteriorate for all of us...
Then why keep commenting about finding common ground if you don't believe in it?
We are closing in on a very real crossroads in our country
The reason I would like to have lunch or meat you is because that way when we comment on here it doesn't just regress into us just being gay and calling each others names. For the record when I say gay it has nothing to do with anyones sexual preference, I want everyone to be happy.
If 2 old men like you and I can't find common ground there is no hope for America as it was intended.
Do you really think we disagree on much at all? Or do you think we see issues from different angles? At our core I think everyone in this world wants the same stuff, for example
Do you love your kids?
Do you love our country?
Do you hate anyone?
Do you want to be healthy?
Do you want our populace educated?
At our core we are the same but the government that you want to be bigger and the government I want to be torn down and reset to its original intention is the issue
Why are we so divided? Because people won't sit down and talk, I have extended the olive branch. Your lunch with someone you don't agree with doesn't have to be with me but it needs to be with somebody
Just my opinion
