We’ve never had a Democratic president or prominent politician say “I couldn’t care less about uniting the country” and demonizing the other side like they do.
But I have the impression that I am watching it becoming a “both sides issue” in realtime… I don’t like that.
Don’t give up your humanitarian values just because parts of the other side do.
We spent a long time trying to unilaterally declare peace and people like Kirk stood ardently against those efforts. We begged, we pleaded, we disproved, we mocked. When we reached out a hand it was treated as weakness. When we offered their proposals they called it communism. Biden was our compromise candidate, Harris campaigned hard on reaching across the aisle. Now the right has military occupation of multiple American cities, as opposed to just the paramilitary occupation they had in the past few years.
So right now yeah we won’t lionize him, we won’t miss him. He was, as they say, no angel.
When the right wing is ready to unify we can start talking.
Trans people, immigrants, and other marginalized groups are under attack and are losing freedoms and rights that other people in this country are afforded.
It’s not even pushing ideologies; they’re no longer allowed to exist in America.
It’s hard to see eye-to-eye with these people when they’re kidnapping my neighbors and taking away healthcare from my cousins.

This isn’t a “both sides” issue.

This. We’ve begged our attacker to see our humanity and it’s only emboldened them.
And your impression is absolutely wrong. Again, if you have no idea what’s going on, don’t comment. You’ll only inflam things.
