Pat can come out from his safe space. If all was ok in his mind before the election, it still is. Both the GOP and Dem leadership is dominated by christian white males. The Dem party leadership is getting more diverse, but not nearly as diverse as it's members and supporters.
Regarding ideological differences: the overall ideological differences between the parties is rather insignificant. There is new talk about socialism, but that ship sailed decades ago.
Regarding religious differences: there are 2 muslims in congress. How many ? Two you say ? 2 ???.
Regarding Pat's questions:
Dem party: I think it does have the potential to become fractious. But I think lessons have been learned with third parties. So I think the Dems will survive
The nation: If it wasn't a rhetorical question, it was a real dumb one. Ideology, politics, religion and race are what they are. Will be what they will be. Biology and the Constitution guarantees it. It's not a matter of tolerance.
