Tenhigh Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hello friends. As an American, I'm almost physically ill at what has happened to our country. I think we can all agree that this @$%^ has gotten out of hand. It seems to me that too many people in this country have decided that their opinions are truths, and that ANYONE who disagrees with them are the enemy. Hyperbole and name calling rule the day, and family members aren't speaking to each other based on their politics. To me, it's time to say enough is enough. If we continue down this path, which we can see is clearly happening even on a football message board, we're pretty much screwed as a society. We all need to try and find some common ground, and since we're all here for the same reason, I think this is as good a place to start as any. So I'll start with a few and things I think we can all agree on, and maybe we can all go from there. 1. The Bills are an awesome football team. 2. As a species, we should be beyond the point where we result to rioting and looting. 3. We are all too often rigid in our views. Please add on if you see fit. Its' gotta be better than calling each other idiots. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure all extremists are bad but the worst are the ones who are brainwashed by a man in complete power. They use his leadership as an excuse to do these things, other extremists from other parties don't have that luxury to follow someone else they just look stupid in the eyes of everyone. Only the Trumpster party will coddle terrorism b.c they think it is the right thing to do. Edited January 7, 2021 by TBBills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenhigh Posted January 7, 2021 Author Share Posted January 7, 2021 This seems like a dead end, lol. How about you @Big Blitz. Can you say that we all agree that the people who broke in to the Capitol should be arrested because they broke the law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And please try to be honest and reasonable. Honestly, I kinda think he has a point. All Extremism is bad. Absolutely. And there are extremists on the far-left who should be condemned and penalized. However, the very core of Trumpism really is to fight, not accept defeat, and not help others if it doesn't benefit yourself. The only good that seems to be coming out of yesterday is that I think FINALLY Trump has lost his grip on the Republican party, which will now almost certainly be fractured as Trump's followers likely break off to try to create some 3rd party likely not named the Trumpsters Terrorism Party. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that this is the soul of an actual political party now with its leader being the POTUS, the leader of the "free world" and most powerful man in the world. And if you say that Antifa is the soul of the Democratic Party, you really don't have a leg to stand on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
