"Republican party would love the opportunity to execute gay people."


wrote Democrat party leader Charles Alexander Weimer; link.


Someone else first wrote;
we are a divided country but not a sharply divided country.
Clearly s/he wrote that long ago.

If it can be agreed; the divide needs to be bridged in the interests of the country, then it should be noted that the greatest obstacle to repairing a sharply divided country is the inability to engage in civil discourse. Nothing is settled by a shouting match of name calling, hyperbole and outright lies.

America is being encouraged to abandon civil discourse by "leaders" like Weimer. It is scary to read that Weimer once played a role in childhood development link.

Begging a question; development in what respect?
Better at using deliberately misleading language to advance
personal and political interests? Isn't that called lying?

Nothing is to be gained by exacerbating the divide. Nothing.
