I read this with great interest. You're conservative and I'm very liberal, but the thing is, we have got to have a functioning country. How can Americans stop acting like enemies? We need to get our shit together because a war is not out of the question. Not a little war that doesn't really affect anybody except those in uniform, but a real WAR, in which every family has loved ones serving, we all have to plant Victory Gardens, we can no longer buy bullshit all day because our plants have switched to making wartime goods. We aren't ready for that kind of war. For one thing, we have to make sure we stop letting batshit crazy people run for higher offices, and our leaders need to show the way by being publicly conciliatory to each other. Let us see the leaders of both parties occasionally playing golf and saying things like, "We may disagree about X, but we're both Americans who want the best for this country."
