Patriotic Grace

While Terry Paulson's latest article is largely about how America will become a socialist dystopia if we fail to elect President Trump for a second term, he concludes with a few paragraphs reminding his readers that what unites us as Americans is greater than that which divides us.

I think that “patriotic grace” is there for the taking. We shop together, work together, serve together, worship together, and seem to have no trouble keeping politics in its right perspective. America should not need a war or a terrorist attack to bring us together. At the deepest level, we remain one republic, one people. As we launch into 2020, let’s dial down the attacks and remember how blessed we are to be Americans with opportunities others just dream of. Let’s help President Trump keep expanding those opportunities for more and more Americans.

I would agree with everything except that last part as I don't think President Trumps policies are likely to improve thing at all.

This article didn't get a lot of comments, but the ones that did post were all attacking Democrats, as you would expect.  This one by Momster is perhaps the most striking.

As the swamp sloooowly drains, observe the swamp creatures now exposed to the cleansing sunlight. See them as they writhe in agony. Listen as they snap their increasingly toothless jaws. Hear them as they bellow and hiss out their stream of lies. Watch out for their still dangerous tails as they lash about in desperation!

I don't know - if I thought my political enemies were toothless lashing swamp creatures I probably wouldn't want to work together or serve together with them.   But perhaps I am looking at this the wrong way.
