I haven't seen much that would indicate America WANTS to be healed.

So for now, we suffer.

You're absolutely right. We don't because we're not ready for it as things stand now. Too many fundamental differences of principles, opinions, etc.

Actually I disagree, America wants to be healed, but nobody wants to just surrender.

What makes you think that America wants to be healed? I think everyone is enjoying the upheaval.

No, they are not.

Not everyone but people on both ends of the spectrum think that upheaval and chaos will led to what they want.

I know there are some, and that they are found on both ends of the spectrum, and that there are more of them than I care to admit. But there are also more of us who who don't feel that way than those nutjobs care to admit. So I will not let such careless statements stand, if I can help it.

If I see them, anyway. I will admit that these days I have more people on hide than usual, people on both ends of the spectrum, so who knows what some of the other nutjobs on here are saying, but I'll address what I can.

Thank you for this -- intriguing point.

We'll eventually get it right after we've tried everything else.

You obviously don't live here. The racism was rampant before Trump even stepped onto the scene. That bad cop thing...

The election of a black president undoubtedly stirred it up (I would also say that the situation in Europe also helped legitimize fascism all over the world through the internet), but Trump tapped into it and helped it to grow.

Racism never really goes away... it just becomes more or less socially acceptable to act on it.

I vote for less.

It will be interesting to see if America can turn more of our focus on some very, very, very serious international world issues, soon.
If not, we might find some of the internal squabbles much less important, if/when something huge impacts us.

Funny how some of the squabbles become less important when rubber starts hitting the road.

Not so far. But let's hope.
