Your missing or are in denial about what is right in front of your face.

I am not talking about individual people like you and me. I am talking about the people with the microphones.

why do I have to see clips of Hollywood elites, current elected officials, and news anchors saying that those that voted with Trump are despicable human beings, racist, deplorable, and on and on and on, and need to pay. Why are they talking about assembly lists of business owners or staffers from the administration to make sure they don’t get employment? This is just the tip of the iceberg and it is coming from one side and one side only. Please stop pretending that it is not. Saying that you disagree with another side is one thing but actually trying to convince the world that 1/2 of our population are racist, repulsive pigs, is coming from one side.
so what you are saying as I understand it is that it’s not incumbent upon the side that’s saying all of those things to stop saying them but rather it’s incumbent on the receiving people to just turn the other cheek?

If this election taught us anything it should be that the personality of our president was rejected but the policies in many cases that he stands for were not. Americans seem to want moderation. Yet the left is still babbling about what despicable human beings those on the right are. Do I need to attach 50 video clips in the last 24 hours to prove my point?

Maybe what we should do is turn our cheeks to each other. If you can’t acknowledge the rancor of personal attacks on voters coming from ONE side- your living under a rock.
Ahhh, so now we get to the crux of the matter. 

I can fully acknowledge that the side you are referring to says many things that trigger rage. But I can also scrape together all the clips so show that the side you described as having four years of built up rage has given plenty in the way of attacks and gross clips. I hope you too can acknowledge that. 

If you can't, you're correct that unity is impossible. It's going to take one side or the other acting like the bigger person, putting aside rage, hurt and insults and being ... dare I say, nice. 

The left probably won't do it, and the right it seems certianly won't do it, in part because maintaining that hard edge seems more advantageous to holding power and influence. And unfortunately also in part because there's something in our lizard brains that seems to want very much to be put upon and feel bad about the world.

Wow I totally agree with you the reality is this will likely never happen. The barn door has been opened.

you have to give the Democratic Party some credit here. They mastered the art of ballot harvesting back in the 2018 congressional races. In this election they focused so much time on major cities in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
remember what ballot harvesting is. It is mailing out ballots, unsolicited, to millions of voters and then paying a third-party firm to go out and collect them. Whether or not they were actually legitimate ballots is no longer detectable once those ballots are mixed in with the other ballots.

They say that it’s pretty clear that Trump received more in person votes, by a wide wide margin, then any presidential candidate in the history of our country. Just think about that for a minute.
It turns out they mastered it in the saddest way we've ever seen. If you can cheat rampantly and not take the senate or add to the advantage in the house, cheating is either highly ineffective or being done anything but masterfully. 

Who says that last part?

I got one a couple months ago and thought it was...fine. Seemed pretty average to me, I dunno. It's not like I'm expecting earth shattering food in fast food sandwiches, but I'm not sure I could tell it apart from any other one.

Is it. I only eat Popeyes on tight airport layovers, usually in Atlanta. The level of crispy breading they have is always absurd.

It's pretty good, but the "spicy" is only in the mayo, and I don't love mayo on a sandwich.

I wish they'd included the spice in the batter itself, like they do for their standard bone-in chicken pieces.  I think THAT would have made for a really great sandwich.

If 71 million people have been pissy the last 4 years with their guy in the WH, then there's no appeasing them, lol.  Bitch when you lose, bitch when you win....why bother caring how they feel if it's always the same emotion?

Show me the clips of Hollywood elites calling people who voted for Biden racist, repulsive, disgusting, or threatening revenge against them. Show me that. Show me a news anchor at one of the main stream media saying that those people should feel threatened. Show me that. Show me I talk show host on a main stream Network saying that they want Trump supporters rounded up and locked up. I will save you some time. You won’t find that and yet I can show you plenty of that just in the last 24 hours. Please get real.

The right tends to be the side of optimism, the left side of doom and gloom. Never was that more evident than this recent election. 
again you’re missing the point. It has so little to do with who occupies the White House.  People on the right fear for their lives because of people on the left. The walk cancel culture, the violence against somebody wearing a Maga hat, or just endless. You would think that now the left has the White House they would stop but they have just turned up the volume.
