Massive divide in the American public. I don't see anyway of bringing it together again.

What was fringe in the 1800s, 1900s, early 2000s is now the norm for Democrats. It's push people on the right to the point of not taking it anymore.

I don't see a solution out of DC no matter who is in office.


What's the PT's opinion on viable solution?

I've said for several years the political divide between America First/MAGA and the Dims/Groomers is unbridgeable, still believe that today and I'm an old school Democrat..

I do. It will only happen by way of a catastrophic, spontaneous, countrywide "bitch-slap".

Death wish: a countrywide 911 type of attack - even in small-town America. Hate to say it but that's the only thing that will do it.

Impossible to work with people who believe men can get pregnant and breastfeed.

That isn't like tax policy or deficit spending, it's madness.

I don't see that. I see a lot of people we have imported over the years as anti America and would cheer that.

We're now seeing the Dems for what they have always been. Dumba$$es who think more government is always better government.

How well do you remember 9/11?

We came together as a nation for about a whole month after 9/11. Things have only gotten more fractious since.

Turn off the TV. Don’t consume Twitter or the poli bord for a few days. Tell us if you see this divide in person.

Cities full of hatred, fear and lies
Withered hearts and cruel tormented eyes
Scheming demons dressed in kingly guise
Beating down the multitude and scoffing at the wise…

D.P. Moynihan, Tip O'Neill, Goldwater, Howell Heflin. I'll take any of them for what we have now.

Can you be more specific? How do your interactions illustrate a massive divide in the American public?

ETA I just took my dog around the block. Saw a neighbor across the street who asked how my kids are. Ran into random jazz fest tourists who saw me smell a flower and asked me what kind of flower it was. I’m just curious as to what someone’s normal demeanor is if their typical interactions are divisive. I can’t help but wonder if there’s a common denominator there.

That’s why I don’t live near it. anywhere close.

It may make it out here before I die, but I doubt it.

It's in the undercurrent but to your overall point, you're right.

I'm a white male for instance and a race and gender minority where I work. People treat me great.
