Regardless of your opinion. My point is that voting will not magically un-divide people.
Voting probably exacerbates division.
But since 1776, periods of unity are rare. Division is the norm. There was unity during WW2 and post Sep 11 for a couple years. The 'divisive' George W Bush had 80 or 90 percent approval rating in Jan 2002.
As far as exacerbating division, it's the corporate media and the political establishment.
When it comes to civility, the left has none because of certain derangement syndromes.
Truman called Dewey a Nazi in 1948. Dewey called Truman a Klansman in 1944 but Truman did join KKK in 1922.

All of our Western history is sound bites and unfortunately they are sound bites of who was wrong. Always, who was wrong.
If the information we get is not inspiring them it's misinformation. This historical narrative will always be manipulated to push is to the next watering hole in the way to the feed lot.
Are we good men? I can't say that I am. I can only say that I need a lot of work to do on my self and that at the same time I don't want it to be more difficult than it needs to be.
I'll vote because the church right behind my house is my voting area. No excuse. I can walk out of my back yard into the church yard and cast my ballot. It's like the organic bananas I buy. It tastes better. I've stepped away from the poles in 2020 and I've participated in the past.
I'm also going to pray. I will pray that our country, my state (commonwealth) and city will have leadership that can be noble. Sure, I may believe that anarchism is best served but how much do I desire less government and also none?
The fact is that I live in a city, in a state, and in a country. I have a passport. I'm already part of the mindless machine. My goal then is to wake up the man within and became noble so that I can better select and exemplify what nobility means. It's all about how I act. It's also about how I serve God.
