Thread for peace to return

[hamsterjill]

I don’t think I have to explain the purpose of this thread. It’s been four years of angst, stress, hate, upset, violence, and uproar. We are all so weary and spent.

Finally, we are almost there.

Please. Please!! Let there be peace again.

We are truly brothers and sisters. We all face the same kind of problems and we all have the ability to overcome them. That means putting our human brains to good use, combined with a strong sense of warm-heartedness.

12. If only...

I love the sentiment. That’s what we should strive for.

Please be safe through these perilous times.

4. I don't think we will ever see true peace again.

This past 4 years has absolutely ruined our beautiful country.

10. Obama ruined it

Just kidding of course, but he galvanized the hate mongers on the right and they found the perfect empty suit conman to coalesce around. The Republic Party is now bordering on a fascist/terrorist organization and the only way it can be salvaged is from within. Guys like Rubio, Cruz, "mainstream politicians" are no better than Trump, they just lack the incendiary tweeting talents of Der Dump.

Of course, this can all be traced back further, as the foundation was set by right wing think tanks, religious quacks and talk radio.

13. Nope Reagan ruined it when they let Fox news in with no restrictions.

They allowed one person or company to own a lot of stations so we got Sinclair and others. When I was in radio one owner could only own a small number of stations.

5. Maybe detente, not peace

The evil are not going to change their ways, they will tone it down. They will lie in wait for another fascist opportunity to arrive. What they're doing is the smaller part of the problem, who they are is the bigger.

7. Totally agree with what you are saying

Trump exposed the hate. What he exposed in some people is worse than what he is.

[Clearly fogged in]

8. Yes, it's horrifying nt

9. I love this.

11. Peace will happen when all traitors, enablers & coconspirators are prosecuted

And punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Anything less only serves to embolden them.

Holding your vision for peace!
