    No. It's what I said I'd do. That Joe is on his own. Your avatar finished his distinguished career holding a 25% approval rating. POTUS appears to want to go lower.

    As vocal as the right may be, I think it comprises far less than half of the country.

    In 2020, there were approximately 57.23 million people living in rural areas in the United States, compared to about 272.91 million people living in urban areas.
    Size of urban and rural population of the U.S. 2020 | Statista

    239.2 million Americans were eligible to vote in 2020, - 159M of whom actually voted


    Percentage of eligible urban voters who vote Democrat - 62% *


    Basically 2/3 of America leans left. *It's just that a great many of eligible urban dwellers don't vote for a variety of reasons. Well, you see what happened when they found out they could vote by mail. The numbers of voters across the board increased, but especially among Dem voters.

    But for the fact that many on the left don't vote and the EC, the Republicans would never get in.

    Dissolve is not good...for commerce. But if you don't break into 2 unions you will lose your 50% half of America and the reps will be disarmed.

    Are you happy with that if you are a rep and against a breakup?

    Are you happy with being a criminal if you use a gun to defend your family at your home? That is how it will be in a dem run America.

    Are you happy with the destruction of America as we had known it? No going back.

    If you are a conservative and not for a breakup...you are a dem, not a rep. The dems will have perpetual control. They have the formula.

    This is exactly why the Founding Fathers did not want a democracy but a republic. Just because a majority of people agree with something does not make it right. Taking away our freedoms in the name of safety may be seen as positive by a majority of low information voters but that is a sure path to serfdom.

    I'm hoping that what is transpiring in terms of corporate censorship, is a temporary reaction to current events. However, if the threatened armed protests beginning on the 17th, turn into something violent, it won't bode well for freedom.

    And thus your dream of permanent Communist one party rule, eh Bolshevik? This $#@! about uniting the country is a farce. The Left only want "unity" so long as it agrees with their sick AntiAmerican agenda 100%. Oh, and for those of you who want cooperation from us...
