A comment in a NYTimes editorial hammers home the reality of what is happening.

"Having first sickened the White House and then Congress, the virus of Trumpism is about to spread to the Supreme Court itself."
==============

This is what is happening to our country. We are being divided in every way imaginable. How long until we read about how the Supreme Court is fighting amongst themselves? The goal of division will be complete.

1. The question is: Are we ever coming together?

2. Maybe we need to make red lining legal again,

but just have certain regions where Trump supporters are allowed to live. They will want to move to those communities, and they can enjoy life and leave the rest of us alone. Just like the Amish.

3. Only if we get a leader that can unite this country.

An eye for an eye and soon the whole world is walking around blind...

9. I miss Joseph Stalin...

i know mentioning general secretary Stalin peeses off almost everyone, but...he was being fed misinfo by the 'great gamers' who have never been held to account, thus history has been distorted beyond belief. Lookit how the fascasti have undone the most powerful political entity in history, and TRY to SEE that the lying liars/hypocrites have been bossman for a long time... they demonised 'liberalsim' ferchrissake

5. Should we? Would it provide any sort of benefit to come together?

I mean, the right wing idea of "good national security" all but explicitly says "Sure there is a mass shooter, but hey, the mass shooter isn't a Muslim or an immigrant... so, it's JUST a tragedy."

I can't unite with that, especially when I have a Muslim in my circle of loved ones. There's no way I can compromise or come together with that position.

7. A divided nation can't survive.

4. And division is itself a means, not the goal

The goal is destruction... 'recreating' America into some over-romanticized hyperreal past construction.

They want an America that is a theme park for the rich, powerful, and evangelicals... An America that they are convinced did not have GLBTQ people, single mothers, Muslims, liberals, uppity poor people, or uppity black people who had the gall to say their lives matter. A nightmare for everyone else.

Division is one means to accomplish this fake America... making the Trump family, Flynn family, etc. seen as 'experts' is another means.

6. Full division is far from complete...as we will discover in a month or so...payback time is coming.

[kentuck]

8. The division is the enemy of us all.

Just like during the Civil War. Everyone is forced to take sides. Is that where we are headed??
