The division of the country has been accomplished in the past 30 or 40 years. It's been done by choosing issues which have no clear answer and pushed in the media to keep people arguing and divided. While the political elections look like the country is split 50-50 that's not really the case. Trying to have a discussion with someone and you almost inevitably run into a issue where you are extremely divided and end up being angry at each other. And the result is that things keep getting worse and we keep losing our rights. Wages have been stagnant for 40 years while inflation has increased. The government creates programs to solve problems that it has created.

For instance:

Homeland Security was created as a result of 911. It's a coincidence that Sept. 11 translates to 911? A nice little psychological tweak for peoples thoughts in the future. It was a coincidence that our defense system was told to stand down by Cheney that day? So Homeland Security was created to stop terrorism and secure our borders. And yet we can't stop 8 year old barefoot kids from crossing. And the only terrorist attacks have been from domestic sources. Foreign terrorists have never been a problem. But domestic surveillance has. Now, mass shootings are the issue. I can't wait to see what the solution will be. That problem is most likely caused by video games and movies and children being indoctrinated by them from age 5. Of course the military is taking full advantage of having kids all trained to fly drones by video games.

What has happened in America is the same techniques that our government has used since its inception against indigenous people. The culture is destroyed over 1 or 2 generations and the people are indoctrinated into the new one. The trickle down economics theory has really been the trickle up theory. The money has trickled up to the wealthy. If you are poor just remember that it's all your fault. Opportunity abounds.

The US politicians, judicial system and economic system are all corrupt. Individually nothing can be done. When the majority of Americans are struggling to survive they have no time to engage in politics. Writing your elected officials will get you nothing. I've tried. The system has been broken by choice. It needs a complete renovation. Welcome to the banana republic of Amerika. Our reality has been created for us.

A book could be written on this but who needs another book that no one has the time or inclination to read?

"Someday the leaders of ecocidal corporations will be put on trial...." C.J.

If global warming is true there won't be enough time for that to happen. Given the latest data on sea temperature rise it looks like that is the case.
