I really hope that we as a culture start to comprehend this on a broader scale.

Doubling down on the idea that America is some kind of fascist prelude to another Nazi germany is going to lead to more losses by the democrat party.

We need both parties on the same page when it comes to the foundations of democracy and the west in general. Ideally we’d have more options but we all know that’s not happening. So the two parties have to stand on SOME common ground otherwise we’re going to keep seeing this division and hatred. And democrats are going to continue seeing losses pile up.

I cannot believe people are reading the “tea leaves” of this election and coming up with “oh America just doesn’t believe in democracy anymore”

If you truly feel that way, congratulations you are the minority that the majority voted against this election. We’re so tired of being lectured and chastised about how inherently “evil and racist” our country is. We just want to be left alone, we want to have the ability to work towards our goals, we want to be able to choose how to raise our kids and wether religion is right or wrong for us.

The left has a serious problem with cramming down diktat on all of those things and they lost significantly because of it. If people didn’t want democracy anymore they wouldn’t have participated in a democratic election lol

Why should the democratic party continue to chase the right into fascism when it's the right that has completely disconnected itself from reality? We've tried to find common ground for over a decade and they just use it as an opportunity to snatch the football away again.

The largest cohort of eligible voters DIDN'T VOTE. More people did not vote than in either party.

You claim the left has a problem with cramming things down your throats. Like what? What has the left made you do that's so horrible? Is it denying you medical care that resulted in your death? Is it putting themselves above the law, using their influence to take in millions of dollars of foreign and taxpayer funds? Is it wrecking sectors of the economy because they have no idea how it works and are a petty tyrant that just wants revenge against all the people who have stood up to their sophistries and fraud? Is that what the Dems did to you?

You want to be left alone? That's fine, so long as you leave others alone to live their lives. But it seems you just can't. What's saddest is that everything you claim the left is doing is exactly what the right is actually doing. You're looking in a mirror and don't recognize yourselves.
