How do we get 70 million of our fellow citizens to join us in uniting our nation? [View all]

I am greatly relived that Biden won the election, but will the challenge of the extreme wing of the Republican Party that is still in control of their representatives allow them to compromise and cooperate in building a better future for every citizen? What is the way forward from the quagmire of hatred and misinformation that dominates and suffocates them from reality?
