Reconciliation is not desired. The idea is to crush the opposition and mandate/ens***e them into compliance with your governance.

And that folks, is how two physical properties can occupy the same space: by creating alternate universes. Of which the metaverse will be their ultimate product.

When one side wants to expand government intrusion into our lives and the other wants to shrink it where can the compromise be? In my lifetime the compromise has always been about how much and how fast to expand the federal government. Never how much to shrink it. It is way past time to give the government a vasectomy and stop it from reproducing.

Every federal, state and local department, without exception, perform forced ranking of staff, then cut 20%.
Every federal, state and local government, additionally cut 20% of operating budget excluding salary/benefits cost (addressed firstly).
Prioritize projects/public works to fit budget.

This is good thinking but how do we do this? They are supposed to be doing things to make America greater. We were great and we could be again if we do away with the t*****rs and have free e******ns. If we’d had free e******n, we wouldn’t be in this mess.and we are in a big mess.

I wish I knew what we could do. Americans have been programed by progressives for a hundred years now. We need to relearn and understand our roots. Relearn to understand the constitutional ideals that inspired this country and why. Relearn and teach our history, good and bad, to our children. If we do not then our descendants are doomed to go much further down this rabbit hole of progressive social engineering. The progressive vision of a better collective will be the demise of the individual.

It would be a dream come true. Our founding fathers didn’t want the government to reduce us to s***es. Socialism completed would do just that.

Which sets up a lot of dominance and submission.
So many know so little, except what they’ve heard on the tv, yet speak with certainty.
Nationalism is essential for success of any nation, especially those that are self-governed.
