Fair enough. Curious how the country moves forward in your view when it is so divided. Or do you reject the idea that the country is divided?
I tend to fall into the lane that obviously the country is crazy divided but I think a lot of that is reactionary due to social media. I look at it almost like a grudge… rn if I'm a Dem I hate hate hate this and want to burn everything down but in a year when politics politic and non of the crazy things happen that people said yeah we might be different but do you really still hate me?
If that doesnt make sense feel free to say so! I kinda feel like no one else looks at stuff this way lol

That's possible for sure.
Few things are more foolish to me than how people act about politics in the US. The idea of elevating it to above friends, family, and faith is so foolish.
I just don't see the release valve of elections working any more. Either their will be a peaceful separation or open violence / civil war. Not like "the civil war". Just people fighting with each other based on factions. I started seeing this back in 2016 as a direction and its just became more clear to me. It may not happen in the next few years but I see it happening in kids lifetime.

Let's hypothetically say civil war erupts. Small and I mean really small parts of the military could put down any crazy Wild unrest.
Between the left and right the left wont fight a military but also wouldn't be able to control it. The right would also get stomped out.
The best either side could hope for would be 1980’s American bombings.
