There is no possibility that a realistic vision for America only includes white conservatives.
We have lots of diversity in America, lots of different cultures and viewpoints.
Logically, any vision for how the country should be must include all these different people and belief systems.
Our challenge is to figure out how to live in harmony with respect for all.
The Pledge of Allegiance goes like this:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Liberty for All.
What does that mean?
That means let people believe what they want, and nobody has the right to force their views on others.
It means we have to accept that others will have different views.
Our national challenge then, logically, is that we have to figure out how to all live together in one nation.
I don't see that in Trump supporters.
They want to force their way on others.

As soon as you try to tell others how they should live, you have violated the Pledge.

Your freedom ends precisely at the point when you try to control others.
Your freedom only allows you to do things that affect you, not others.

Rather ironic coming from a leftist hack that does nothing but spread lies on this forum. The reality is, Democrats don't want diversity of thoughts, views or opinions. They demand everyone march lockstep with their moronic, lie filled narratives with the help of their complicit media propagandist and will censure and weaponize the DOJ to accomplish it.
Democrats are the existential threat they claim Trump is. On November 8th, most of that threat will be removed. The rest will be extricated in 2024 with a Republican President.
With adults back in charge, we will turn this mess around and start reducing the deficit and attempts to destroy the Constitution.
"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

America was greatest when it presented a new choice for people.
It was not for this group or that group to operate in isolation but rather a place where you could melt your culture and background in with that of others to offer the best of all worlds in an atmosphere of opportunity and freedom.
we lost our way when we decided to stop being a melting pot.
fix that and you fix so much more.

The 'My way or the highway' view of Trump supporters is antithetical to having a great nation that includes diversity.
