I know you have tongue firmly in cheek when you talk about no democrats invading. I think I could be an exception to not being able to come to celebrate with FCD when he finds his forever home just 'cause I'm a libby. The area I live in is mostly conservative, with just a few libbys, so I'm surrounded, but I get along fine with my conservative neighbors. We are not all the same you know.
You're right. This is a time for building bridges. The time for blowing them up has not yet come, and when it does, folks may be surprised who is left on their side of the bridge when the dust settles and the smoke clears... if they play their cards right, that is.
Blind partisanship and partisan jingoism has destroyed more than one nation, and this one may be just the next in line if we don't get our crap together and all into one sock.
Democrats are abandoning the Biden regime left and right. If Conservatives cannot recognize that for what it is, then what is coming is just as heavily on their shoulders as it is on anyone elses. We should be building alliances against the common foe rather than letting that foe divide us with false enmities.
While the "elites" have us at one anothers throats in the trenches, they sit on their thrones on high and laugh all the way to the bank with OUR money, and they let no partisanship get in their way.
I think we could take a lesson from that.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
