It Took 250 Years for Americans to Unite in Peacetime

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

The United States of America is the most diverse nation in the world by design. We are a nation of immigrants, and every true American should be proud of this fact. However, your illegitimate president hates immigrants, unless they are pure white and wealthy.

It is easy to understand why our nation is less “united” when times are good and peace reigns over us. We have different traditions, customs, and different views. This, too is very “American”

However, when our nation is under attack, we join as one to defeat a common enemy.

THE 2026 ELECTION CHANGED AMERICA FOREVER; I HOPE

In 1981, the Republican Party, one of our two major parties, began to separate itself from the principles of our system known as a “Democratic Republic.” Ronald Reagan forbade his subjects to deliberate and eventually compromise with their counterparts across the aisle. This unwritten rule existed until last Tuesday.

Forward thinking men and women, composed of a diverse collection of patriotic Americans, made it clear that they support the ideals of our Founding Fathers contained in the Bill of Rights. They renewed my belief in the final words of the Pledge of Allegiance, “with liberty and justice for all.”

These patriots support the wishes and needs of the majority of our nation’s people, and this is why the results of the 2026 midterms were historically in support of the people, not a political party.

I am not only happy, I am once again proud to be an American. Our nation has been reborn. I hope that within the next few years we can once again become the “United States of America.”
