She is right.  the obama and trump admins have done nothing but create division which is a security issue for this country.  .  

My take is Obama sowed the seeds, Trump realizes that there is no negotiating with the Democrats, the house judiciary hearing with Barr put that on full display this week.  So he's doing what he needs to do to keep them from power.  Lets not forget the 92 or whatever % negative media coverage against him, you don't think that hasn't had a major impact in stoking the division?

While you are not wrong, I think we need to really figure out the people that are dividing this country are the 535 representatives we have in DC.  Mostly the members that have been in there for decades need to get out.

While you’re figuring it out, count yourself as a divider.

Rush Limbaugh started the extreme, identity politics issue back during the Clinton administration. He set the stage for what’s happening today. It’s gone too far to bring it back. There’s going to be a steady decline of national unity. The bitterness on both sides and well as philosophical differences has become too great.

Ok, you blame Rush while the adults figure it out for you.   You should really take a good look at the crap you post.  90% of it is deceiving and uses half truths to push the divide.   Good job.  BTW, did you know the school social worker that attacked the Wisconsin state senator Tim Carpenter.  She is in your line of work, helping the mentally challenged while pushing her agenda.  Seems like a stable person for the job.

You just proved my point. Thank you.

It’s only going to get worse. There’s no middle ground any longer.

Until something significant happens it'll likely continue the downward spiral

Copout.

The citizenry elected those fools and can get rid of them. People want their echo chambers and the most partisan candidates are well regarded by their side.

It isn’t just two sides. There’s multiple sides made up of degrees. 

In general.  Which side?

So lets get them out.  I was all for the tea party and any movement to remove the most partisan candidates.   I believe I am doing my part by electing as much new blood as I can.

You're preaching to the choir. Now convince all the guys who say we have to keep voting for X or Y will win. 

Senate re-election rates hover around 90%.

Thats nonsense.  Rush became popular because he exposed the bias and people framing the narratives, and called the guilty parties out on it.  They did everything they could to delegitimize him, and it only made him more and more popular.   I remember hearing all this rabble about this racist bigot Rush guy, so one day I tuned in and it didn't take too long to figure out his critics were full of shit.  Trump is of that mold, and his political opponents are using the same failed strategies, but on an even more extreme level.

Thats what we keep hearing, but they keep re electing the same shit.

It's not even up to them, the propaganda machines do it 100x what politicians do with their memes and videos. All of that stuff is created with the full intent to incite, that's it.
