The question (lesson ?)  from the 2024 election cycle is ... how ever are y'all going to heal and come together if it remains so divisive?  

The far left and their media enablers are not going to help you accomplish this - they have a vested interest in keeping everyone divided - and angry.   You didn't come together under Bush or Obama, and certainly not Trump term 1.  And in this last cycle, Biden's rhetoric did nothing but throw gas on the fire - Trump certainly was no slouch there either.  And now you are very likely about to see Trump term 2.  Barring a certain miracle, I doubt the divisions will heal at all.

So what's it going to take?  Post Trump term 2 for the next possibility of some real healing?  Because no one expects the hatred and division to get any better for the next 4 yrs.

If you haven't heard, there's a LOT of liberal folks that identify with this meme:

The Russian playbook requires it.  See Brexit. See Moldova. See Georgia (the nation). See just about every right-wing nationalist party in Europe. And all you fools are walking blindly into the trap. But that is only half the story.

If you think Trump will restore the good old days if he wins. Think again.
Trump is history whatever way you look at it. If he loses (and the Dems manage to restore order) he's toast. 
If he wins he'll be quickly replaced by Vance or told to play golf and we'll be governed by Musk (an illegal immigrant btw, heaven forbid!) and Thiel. What happens then is anyone's guess. They have a pretty weird agenda that doesn't actually align with Russian nationalism or with Christian nationalism/ traditional Republican values.

Talk about interesting times. Jeez.

 Did you know that if you see a church electioneering you can contact the IRS & they'll actually take action? A church in Arizona had to cut the Trump/Vance portion of their sign off of church property Email eoclass@irs.gov Instructions on the website & in photos below www.irs.gov/charities-no...
 
Thanks for this, there's a church in this town that I'm thinking of.

Radiolab has had some great episodes on election related stuff. There is one on ranked choice voting that is great, and one on how we came very close to getting rid of the electoral college in the 70s (had the support of Richard Nixon!?!?!). Worth a listen.

It's amazing how confident you state total BS.  Ignorance is indeed bliss. Bezos isn't going to let his vanity hobby influence a vengeful and spiteful potential president who might influence his shipping, internet, and space companies.   It's not a change in priorities or loyalties, it's business. Fighting with Trump isn't worth his time (or money).
 
Let's get back to the part you evidently overlooked ...

In September 2021, Bezos co-founded Altos Labs with Mail.ru founder Yuri Milner, a Jewish Russian Israeli.

I would say that the current direction of the progressive democratic party is in direct conflict with their philosophical views.

It's been leaning right for sometime. They also indulged in 'minimizing Trump's dangerous rhetoric but Kamala needs-to-work-harder' double standard. 
It showed their cowardice in not endorsing anyone after years of having done so previously. Yes, Bezos loves dem Tax Cuts and Stratosphere sailing. To hell with the country; Profit is all.
And please stop   
before launching accusations of liberal extremism and advocating wealth redistribution: No, I'm not advocating for reparations, more social safety nets, welfare state, etc.... Just level the effin playing field. Republicans have 40 years to prove trickle down is tinkle down. Seniors are poorer than they've ever been. Republican Recessions tend to do that.
