It makes me gag when Democratic candidates talk about "bringing the country together."

Not at all interested is reconciling with unabashed racists and monarchists.

They are our compatriots. Don't forget that a few decades ago, the Democrats stood for racism. Education, and a common purpose, can change people.

@Northwest Don't fall for Dixiecrats being the ancestor of post Civil Rights democrats. They all became Republicans.

And no, I have no bond with them after their support of a dictator fascist President who seeks to destroy anything in his path.

@Northwest Sadly, we are now educating the un-educatable, and they are breeding much faster than we are according to their 'wholesome religious values'; as a result, they are making society stupider in the long run by sheer numbers and the law of averages.

@Human1000 I don't believe the transformation of Houston, Austin, and Durham (to name a few), to be racist Democrats switching to GOP. This is a new generation, and the change was driven by education. I'm certainly not going to empathize with the racists, or bond with them over a meal, and that's not what I meant.

@Northwest I didn't think you meant more liberal cities. And you're talking about the future so we will see. Red states strip the right to vote from tens of thousands of Dems. Also, with hundreds of judges loyal only to Trump and his vision of a white power structure, we'll be in an apartheid situation soon enough.

@Human1000 It's not going to happen overnight. Since I started voting, I watched as:

California became blue
Washington State became blue
Oregon became blue
Houston became blue
Durham became blue
Arizona is about to flip blue
.....

All due to higher levels of education, and openness to various cultures, and there is no going back.

@Northwest We shall see...Georgia should have had a Dem governor and Wisconsin took away the future Dem governor's power. With Trumpism triumphant, they will do anything now.
