The media has for years painted a discordant picture of the political conflicts that now characterize our day. With time, this feast of divisions has only become more ravenous.
Americans were divided during the Trump administration into two separate groups: those who supported him and everyone else. Political discourse was reduced to a conflict between pro-Trump forces and the establishment, which led to a never-ending cycle of division. There was no opportunity for compromise or finding a middle ground in the divided country.
America’s politically tense environment has finally subsided with the end of the Orange Man’s turbulent term in office. A new era might start when tensions subside and harmony starts to resurface.

We continue to have great hopes that the election of Donald Trump will lead to more sophisticated and fruitful political discourse.
After the turbulent events of 2016, many would have been apprehensive about the heated election for House Speaker this month. However, it was a surprisingly encouraging event that demonstrated how much our country can advance via constructive debate.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia made a startling decision to back Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, which had observers wondering if she was able to maintain her MAGA principles in the face of this intriguing development.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Lauren Boebert, two ‘outspoken’ and ‘fiery’ pro-Trump congresswomen, almost got into an explosive altercation earlier this week, according to a report in The Daily Beast, showing that their similarities could only go so far.
McCarthy was elected after numerous rounds of voting, but up until Boebert and Greene’s unexpected showdown in the Capitol, everything went smoothly and respectably.
The infamously armed Colorado congressman had the opportunity to share her experiences with radio personality Dana Loesch. Loesch’s question, “What the h*** goes on in the ladies’ bathroom?” made Boebert giggle.
“So I actually kind of love that that story came out because of how I was quoted,” She responded, saying that while the speaker’s race had “upset” some people, it had been going on for a few days without anything getting too low. She had been in the women’s restroom with a few other colleagues, including freshly elected Rep. Anna Paulina Luna.
Boebert explained that at this point, “the gentlewoman from Georgia, came up and started, you know, being kind of nasty about it. And no one else had been nasty about it. Everyone had been very professional.”
“It was the most organized I have seen Congress since I’ve been there in two years,” she said. “Relationships were being built and strengthened on both sides of the aisle. It was incredible. And so when she started going after me, I looked at her and said, ‘Don’t be ugly.’”
WARNING: The following post contains language which some may find offensive.
According to sources, Rep. Greene publicly criticized Rep. Boebert, a fellow freshman, for accepting money from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and then betraying him in the fight for speaker of the house.
In December, tensions rose between Marjorie Greene and Lauren Boebert when Greene took to Twitter with accusations over McCarthy’s Speakership. It was now official that the two were at odds.
Lauren Boebert, a Republican, and Marjorie Taylor Greene have fallen out over Greene’s alleged trade of her values for a sought congressional position in favor of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
Boebert was described as telling Greene what her grandmother used to say to her when she was acting like a “brat,” as she told Loesch, at this point in the Capitol Hill women’s room: “Don’t be ugly.”
“It’s like the most inoffensive thing you could say,” the radio hosted noted, joking that it sounded like the “Coloradan version of ‘bless your heart.’”
“She said, she said, ‘Don’t be ugly.’ Granny. Granny told me that a lot, though,” Boebert laughed.
One would ask why fiery populist Marjorie Greene continues to support the powerful yet controversial McCarthy given his enormous popularity among establishment conservatives. What is the reason for her unwavering support after his resounding support for financing landed him in hot water with others on her side of the aisle?
It goes without saying that, despite their public squabbles and displays of hostility, politicians are frequently considerably friendlier in private. Anyone who has followed politics for a long enough time can see it clearly from the outside looking in. Even if you live thousands of miles from Washington, D.C., you can still observe an underlying politeness amongst opponents.
What happens on Twitter doesn’t stay there, as an old saying goes. Reps. Boebert and Greene discovered this the hard way when their heated online argument turned into an unplanned altercation in the ladies room of the Capitol.
Even though a heated political debate was taking place, Rep. Boebert’s female colleagues shown class by politely refraining to remark on the incident that had occurred in their lavatory, even when the press directly asked them to.
“What happens in the ladies room stays in the ladies room,” she said.
Even though the idea might not have been widely accepted, at least someone had the guts to suggest it.
