Nobody gets along. It does not matter who is in office. If it is GOP or dem. What is going to straighten things out? A war? A natural catastrophe? A civil war? A souped up covid 19? Alien invasion? What gets things back to normal or is there never a solution?

A large population loss.

In the US only a Civil War will truly reset things one at or another.

Global issues will only be reset through strong leadership by the US that also includes military action or a world war.

Both include major population losses.

This administration’s abject failure has set the table for a charismatic leader to bring the country together with sensible decisions and a return to morals, normalcy, and law and order. Who is that? I don’t know but the table is set for a charismatic conservative leader to step up.

Sad, but I agree. I think it would take something where our nation is actually under attack. Enough to make everyone question our future existence as a country… like if someone were able to get a nuke past our star-wars satellites and it wiped out a major populated area. Something where it was America against the world would be the only way we would/will come back together as a nation. As it is now, they’ve spent too much time dividing us into groups to make us hate one another.

It will take more than people coming together in time of crisis. Exactly what you said happened 21 years ago this month. How long did that unity last?? What fundamental political changes came out of it?? We even have memorials and museums dedicated to that day.

I have never seen the country more divided than it has been been since Trump was elected.I have nothing against him I am just saying that seemed to be what made the gloves come off. People have always disagreed but prior to him it was mostly civilized and people on both sides seemed to have respect for one another. No one cares about middle ground anymore and everyone has chosen sides and dug their heels in. I don’t see how it can be fixed.

The only thing that will change the demonic downhill slide is the truth. When people realize that they have been lied to about everything and are shown the truth. The reason Trump was installed was to and is to expose the truth. It is happening and many folks aren't going to like the way it plays out. We see the results of that battle being played out in front of our faces daily worldwide. "Crap hits the fan" isn't an event, it is a progression of issues. The division is man made, not organic.

You are one president late, it was Obama that split the country. He said he was going to Fundamentally Transform America and he did, for the worse.

I'll never forget that set of lines - something akin to

We live in the greatest country in the world. I am going to fundamentally change it.

I don’t believe we’re as divided as many believe. Just look at the turnouts this weekend for both trump and lying biden. Empty seats at one, millions viewing online and at max capacity in person for the other.
I do believe harder times are ahead, more than most can imagine.

A couple million patriots get enough after the next election is stolen and converge on DC. After some military trials we reset DC with new people and term limits, among other additions.

The ability to look at an issue or an event objectively and, when necessary, critique/modify your own set of beliefs is gone. Someone earlier mentioned “truth”.. No one is interested in the truth, they only want to hear what confirms & supports their own position. Conservatives run to Fox News and Liberals cling to MSNBC and CNN. We don’t want to listen to opposing views, even if it would help shape our own. We just want to yell our sarcasm & insults louder than the opposition.. And when our side loses, we have to play mental gymnastics to reconcile why.. because it surely wasn’t due to legitimate reasons. So the cycle of groupthink and rationalization continues.

I’m not smart enough to know how to break the cycle, but I’ve never been happier since I turned off cable news.

Not going to happen. These Patriots are keyboard warriors and although a lot are willing to hold a sign and chant slogans for a couple hours, there are not enough willing to risk their lives and do what’s going to be necessary to change the government we have today. That includes Dems and Repubs alike.

3% today is a lot more than 3% 250 years ago.

Think about this for a second, and think real hard. How would going to DC with several million "patriots", taking over the govt, and installing who "the patriots" felt was most deserving of the jobs look to the rest of the world, the rest of north America, or to the rest of the 97% of US citizens who didn't participate? Sometimes I wonder if people really read what they write. That is nothing short of a military coup, and it will not go over well for anyone.

Now think hard about this question, because I asked it before and many answered, but failed to act on their answers....what would it actually take to bring you to arms against your country? What is the straw that would break the camel's back?

Answer that.



as an aside, I put "patriots" in parenthesis not because I don't believe in the cause, but because of the people calling them patriots. Thru the yes of antifa, they are patriots. Thru the eyes of BLM, they are patriots. Thru the eyes of liberals, they are patriots. I can assure you none of those people would call our "patriots" patriots. They had some select words for them already used, traitors, domestic terrorists, etc....

I personally think the only event that would do it is if the US was actually invaded or most likely bombed. The 2 World Wars brought people together. But the conflicts we have gotten ourselves into have driven us apart. Especially Vietnam. That to me seemed like where the taking sides and not actually working together started and has gotten progressively worse since them. I don't know and since I am getting up in age I may never see if the United States of American ever actually get united again.
