@nancylwayne Well it's not two different Americas, is two different sets of facts, two entirely different sets of reality based on who you believe, who you listen to.

And this has been the case for years now.

A third of America believes one thing while a third believes the exact opposite. And we no longer have a way of reconciling those two sets of beliefs, those two sets of facts.

This is a very important thing to keep in mind. We really need someone to figure out what's going on, someone that we can all believe in to sort everything out, but there is no such authority looming anywhere on the horizon.

From now on, until we figure out how to work this out, we are going to be living in a world where a huge majority of the population are just going to believe that they are being gaslit by the other half.

It's no way to run a society. But that's what we're dealing with right now.
