I am so old I remember a time when Republicans and Democrats were friends...
@freemo
It could happen again.
@pthenq1 Not anytime soon. All indications is that both parties are spiraling towards ever increasing extremism and violence.
@freemo
I don't see the blue one getting crazy.
Republicans have all the internal believers in conspirational and so on.
They hate. As we all can see in Fox news.
No matter. The global warming consequences will make them return to their senses...
@pthenq1 For most of Trump's president the "blue ones" were busy burning down cities across america. For weeks the sky was so dark from the car and city fires they started it was impossible to ignore.
I have never seen violence in my lifetime ever approaching the size or magnitude of what the democrats did during Trumps presidency.
That said, I dont disagree with your take on the Trump/Republican supporters either.
The extremists on both sides of the political aisle will keep being extreme, and keep going further, you're not wrong about that. But their support will drop off a cliff the farther they go.
I think we're way closer to the OP meme that we realize, especially if #Trump does not win the GOP nomination.
who is to blame aside, there is no doubt trump, partly because he lacked any sense of diplomacy in how he spoke, caused way more divide than unification.
In many ways Trumps biggest flaw was not his policies or making fun of the disabled or any of those things (which are valid criticisms in his their own right) but instead the fact that he seemed to intentionally want to create division. Not that other politicians like Biden dont do the same. But Trump took that to an extreme and seemed to be central to his whole campaign.
Biden definitely is not creating division.
You cannot agree with more than one of his policies, but you are not for that being accused of being an extremist, a criminal, an enemy of the order, an enemy of the state, or unamerican.
You are not despicable for your political color. You are still protected by the system. Etc.
Trump's tactic of creating an invisible internal enemy to gain power was a tactic copied from Goebbels. He did that. Biden definitely is not doing nothing like that at all.
Biden absolutely is creating division, but not at the same level that Trump is.
"You ain't black if you dont vote for me".. not to mention his extremely racist past as a whole, tends to create a lot of division out there in its own rights.
His complete disregard for personal freedom with the vaccine mandate stuff has also created a huge amount of decision.
The difference is Biden is a far better liar than Trump is. He can get up there and give a speech that sounds ok and you might be more able to accept his form of evil. Trump on the other hand was evil but he thought he wasnt and as such did very little to hide it.
