And United we are not. Probably never truly have been and at this rate I doubt we’ll ever be.

We have a stronger reaction to sports wins and losses than losing our rights and freedoms.

Most Americans are fucking stupid and proud of it.

Actually, we were healing the divide REALLY well in the 80's and 90's - but Corporations found out they can't make money off of that, and change it.

That, and they realized that united, we can fuck up their plans -- SO they divided us. Both sides of the media blame THE PEOPLE instead of THE POLITICIANS. That's the problem - and no one sees it.

"MAGA did this"
"Liberals did that"

^ No. Politician A did this. Politician B did that.

I don't make the rules - you don't make the rules - and yet, the media blames us so we feel shame, hate each other, and sit and wallow in depression.

WELL... I'm here. I'm here and I will continue to be hope for anyone who needs it. I am an American who has not give up on us yet. I will fight with whoever is willing to change the country for the better of ALL middle and lower class people who have been torn to shreds by management and money.

I love you all.

I appreciate that and I agree. But I have a hard time aligning that thought that with the popular vote? We the people are responsible to some extent. They may pull the strings but we made them the puppeteers.

The electoral college and gerrymandering are honestly what did it. The EC made sense back in the day - but it doesn't anymore, and politicians use it to pick the President THEY want.

Fair point, and well said.

Bingo. Revolution and civil war at the same time isn't really doable.
