Maybe declaring war on cities in blue states might not be the best way to help things heal.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

No, it absolutely is! Because all the problems in the country are due to the uppity "urban" people in cities....
(Ammo)sexual healing.
Didn’t he just get through saying that he doesn’t give a rats ass?
Yes, yes he did
You’ve clearly haven’t dealt with someone with dementia. That old man up there likely can’t remember what he had for breakfast, let alone the fact he had just spewed hate and violence in an effort to keep us distracted from asking for the Epstein files.
Trump has always been a raging hypocrite, though
Yes, but now he is a raging hypocrite who can't even remember his most recent hypocrisy.
A right wing nutjob, killed by the follower of a right wing nutjob, who thinks that the first right wing nutjob was not right wing enough and that he deserved to die because of it. That damned radical left!
He died doing what he loved, being proven that he was a leftie after all. God speed you fabulous blue boy, the goalposts will never be the same again.
Hey one of your fanbois shot another one of your fanbois.
Sounds like entirely a YOU problem.
Wow guy who's been starting witch hunts for a decade wants a truce. I for one, believe his lying ass
Not a truce. An unconditional surrender.
What did the architect of Project 2025 - which, according to Taco, Elevated Centrists, the Confederates, etc....all told us didn't exist, and if it did exist, don't get so emotional about it, guy - say?
Oh yeah:
We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be.
Maybe he's finally learned all those lessons Susan Collins keeps talking about to justify her shitty votes 🤣
The nation can't heal when the far-right is attacking anyone further than far-right for not being far-right.
Well I think his resignation and suicide would be a good way to start.
I, for one, have no interest whatsoever with ‘healing’, or finding common cause, or compromise with fucking fascists. There is no wiggle room on genocide, or half-way on racism. Both the charlatan christian republicans nazis, and the feckless cowardly corporate democrats can shove all their fake and predatory appeals to conciliation and “normalcy” up their corrupt asses.
Fascist trash.
Nazi filth.
There can't be any healing until this piece of shit is out of the political picture for good, and his whole ideology and style of divisive politics are confined to the scrapheap of history. Worst thing to happen to the USA for a long, long time.
The problems run much deeper than Trump. Hes a symptom, not the disease. Many more dominoes need to fall.
Yeah. People focus on Trump when the entire party are just as bad, and both parties still support genocide, so the mental illness is societal-wide.
There's several hundred to several thousand key figures, financiers, propagandists, stochastic terrorists, etc that bare most of the blame for right wing extremism (Putin, Musk, Thiel, heritage foundation leaders, etc); if all of them stopped existing tomorrow there's a good chance the extremism would subside, and perhaps reverse course.
My hope is for more MAGA on MAGA violence; they take their trash out themselves.
So, basically all of conservatism. Taco has his brand on the place, but they've been this awful for a long, long time. They just had a "respectable" mask that they kept on.
I don't see them going back to that. They will have to be kept out of office for years if we are to get back to normalcy.
This is all so far beyond politics. It's as if America as a whole is severely mentally ill. But artificially mentally ill... as if there's a psychological war happening.
...and people think they can "fight back" with outdated ideologies, that are already psychologically owned and controlled by the powerful entities that guide the path of the mass society.
Like... This isn't going to change via political discourse or even violence... Society is already owned and controlled, the emotional reactions of both the left and right of Kirks death, not to mention other marketed pop drama used to guide society is proof. all this drama is exactly what they want.
If Trump wants the nation to heal, he should stop continuously inflicting injuries on it.
Whatever it takes to distract from the Epstein files king.
Fuck you, Cheeto chimp!
Release the Trump/Epstein files
Can't you all just shut up and do exactly as I say. Geez, you are making this so difficult!
Talking out of your ass and your mouth. The conservative way.
Resistance is violence. We desire peace which will be achieved whenever you lie down and take it
Healing would require extinguishing every source of rightist propaganda and resetting the wealth of every billionaire. They don’t want healing, they want war and this is more of the same theater they use to escalate violence. “We need peace” they cry as they torture and murder our most vulnerable. After November 5, violence became inevitable. Fascism has achieved the terminal momentum it needs to enter the final stage. Either escape or prepare. You don’t have long.
The guy who put PeeWee Mengele in charge of the nation's health thinks he knows how to heal the country.
National healing will happen when the last MAGAt is driven from office and banned from ever holding any office, corporate or public, for life, Trump's and his billionaire supporters' assets expropriated, and Trump and his gang of criminals incarcerated.
This is quite mild compared to my initial position on this subject.
