Everyone you are missing the point. We need to be understanding of these people and how hard they have had watching BLM protestors get shot in the face.
Right. We just need to listen.

Meanwhile, their 40-year radio voice of "truth" told them yesterday the conservatives who call for end to violence are cucks. They need to listen to patriot revolutionaries like Sam Adams and the real Tea Party Patriots.

Rush Limbaugh needs to have his microphone taken away. He's done far more than enough harm.

You don't listen and reconcile with the people who exploit concerns; you listen and reconcile with the people who are prone to listening to those people.

Just because people are foolish enough to listen to Limbaugh doesn't mean they're forever exactly the same as Limbaugh.

I really don't understand why people can't make the distinction here, proper confusing.

Honestly can't wait for him to die.
 
A week ago I would have agreed with you 100%. Now it’s just safer for everyone if he stays away, which is also why I’m somewhat surprised he isn’t planning to show up.

It'd have aided the transition of power if he somehow grew up overnight and went with a bit of grace.

But he'd have turned up still spouting about a stolen election, refusing to shake hands etc. so you're probs right.

I’d add a qualification to that - it depends what he says to his followers.

Would not be out of the realms for him to try a repeat of Jan 6th. At least if he was on the same podium he is less likely to ask people to storm it.

Because you make these sweeping stances of "you really can't get back to 0 TOO fast because it might offend these people" but then ignore when people ask why. I've asked you twice to explain how we are supposed to just sit back and allow this to move at a nice leisurely pace when the Paris accords are too extreme for these people and reducing fossil fuel is too extreme but you just either can't or won't answer either way.

you tried to back up finnfan the whole time before the election and everyone said that was insane.
 
Christ, imagine how safe that makes Pelosi, Schumer feel, along with the likes of AOC knowing that the police who are meant to protect them are directing these violent people right to them, knowing their intentions.

She should be demanding firings (in addition to the ones that have offered resignation already)

I'm not opposed to your position at all. In fact, I share it. Yet it is a common refrain among sycophants of the current POTUS that we just need to listen and try to understand "middle America" or "flyover country" - as though we do not.

I'm routinely around folks who live in small-town, white-bread Texas and have been my whole life. Their concerns are quite familiar to me, and truly not all that different than the brown-skinned folk who live on the West Side of San Anto. Yet, as you suggest, the messages they receive routinely divide them and have done so for 200+ years.
