      @@ChinoEyes1 That's the problem, similar to Julia's.
      She also wants the Donaldo's to apologize, but not all of them actually are the stereotype person that many Liberals/Lefties have in mind.
      Sorries don't mean much to me anyway, it'll only be a thing to use against them, to remind them, but, the damage has already been done anyway.
      And even then... you're not going to get them on your team if you demand them to say sorry first, especially not when their side is also the side with most of the guns and whatnot.
      _IF_ a civil war broke out now, it wouldn't have the same result.
      Just saying.
      Each side is angry at the other side, the president is irrelevant, because if Donald wins in 2024, they might as well demand you to apologize for whatever they disagree with.
      That stuff will only keep that tug of war in place, keeping that pendulum swinging one way to the other.
      Why not try to see beyond the differences and try to get things running on a normal capacity again without killing/cancelling each other.
      Besides, "his heritage of slavery", he's not one of those 'white settlers', it's the USA, to go and try to deny settlers coming to America and ruling it till today, that'll also harken back to the civil war, is that really what you want?
      Slavery still happens in many countries with different races, and there are also atrocious acts by other ethnicities, what's the point of singling out the white goat with 666 between its horns.
      It looks like many people confuse their superior higher morals for superior firepower, how do you expect to make the Jan 6th bisonguy to apologize, he's not alone, and the more force put behind a movement to make these people apologize, the more resistance there will be to it, and yeah, to repeat myself, it's not going to be any prettier this time around.
      I'm not a fan of any politician at the moment, they've all failed in some way or another, but my choice would've been Bernie '16 & '20, but the DNC wouldn't have it, and i am definitely not a fan of Donald, Biden is just a creep, not any less corrupt than the next DNC representative.
      There are a lot of pains felt at this moment that are also caused by the Dems, and people celebrating the recent Ukraine win are putting up a nice show, but i am not interested.
      I do side with Julia on that one, let's just first wait and see what happens.
      But, speaking of apologies... as a working class minimum wage "essential" worker... i did not particularly agree with measures taken, and considering the damage done by putting everything on halt, i can say, there are a LOT of people that owe some apologies.
      So, why not skip this whole charade and focus on how to get back to a normal world.

      There's a difference between saying that you don't agree with everything the party says or advocates for and then in the same breath saying that the other choice is thinking that what the Republicans endorse is somehow better. No, not even close. The two parties are so vastly different that even if I don't agree with the establishment wing of the Democratic party on some policy, I'm not going to endorse a Republican policy or vote for them. The Republican party should be done and gone. It is an ancient relic that should have died long ago. They want us to live in ancient, medieval times. We are in the 21st century! As Wayne from Wayne's World said, "Live in the now!" Maher is now a Republican apologist and it's absolutely disgusting!

      You mean of course that Ms Ioffe still believes in genuine moral concerns as good reasons to NOT vote for a creep like Trump -and good on her for that even if Trumps world thinks that morality is old hat! She comes from a line of Russians who voted with their feet (as did my wife & step-daughters) and her point goes a lot deeper as its very clear to caring immigrants who left their own despots behind that most of his voters were all too aware that Trump was a scheister/crook/con-man/racist/mysoginist but were suckers for his bull-crap anyway. Now theyre in No Mans Land. Just as in Russia all those who welcomed strong-man Putin thought he was a savior of Russia when infact he's destroying it

We had 2 bad choices in 2016. Hillary decided to call everyone not voting for her a basket full of deplorables, which sounds like she divided us, not Trump. In 2020, we had a corrupt liar who has been on the wrong side of every issue for 50 years, or Trump who is an ass. But the condescending elitist on the left are owed an apology after this 2 year shitshow courtesy of the Biden administration?

      the media, the candidates & their corporate donors are indeed responsible for their share of the blame, but as voting ADULTS we are all responsible for our actions, who we elect, who we support & who we come to believe are wrong, so if there is to be healing & compromise, the MAGA cult- A.K.A. the evangelical far-right GOP need to fist admit what Trump is, what he has done & hold him responsible for it, then they need to admit what they have done in support of him as more than just a candidate on a ballot because nobody has had such a cult following or merchandising like Trump. Trace Adkins is wrong in that he & those on his side of this political divide do have something to apologize for & sins to repent as a result of that. Denial won't work here. If the media lost their viewers because we were sick of their divisive rhetoric they'd change what they do to regain ratings much the same as the parties would shift their platforms to regain votes as the GOP sold their souls to retain the MAGA support. They made a conscious choice of power over integrity & their base let it happen by playing their part. Those who suffered & died as a result of Trump's reign & rhetoric deserve more than just "oops: our bad" or worse: "I have nothing to apologize for".

      And, Thank You Rebecca W., as of the time of my reply, you were in the top 3 comments. I would add that Bill's conclusion statement here was one of his best. As I listened to Julia, I had the sometime same reaction - fuck MAGA. But like Bill, I *try* to understand the Trump voter and even MAGA. My dad was a life-long (84) Democratic Party voter, before Trump absorbed the Republican Party. He voted for the monster... twice. The first time, I adamantly opposed him. When "grab 'em by the pussy" was news, he called Trump a "douchebag". But he told me in the same conversation tho, that he was still going to vote for the douchebag. After Tucker Carlson and FOX 'News' supported and defended Trump, and to this day, during his term in office, my dad's brain was so MAGA-addled that he ended up voting a second time for the "orange man"... which, was no surprise. My point is, I knew my dad for some 70+ yrs as my hero. He is no longer my hero, but I know deep down he is Théoden and Tucker is Gríma Wormtongue.
