Not when the hyphenated half is not American."Hypenated" and "American" could be put together in every instance. That is potentially one of the great things about our culture.
People are still looking for ways to maintain division.Not when the hyphenated half is not American."Hypenated" and "American" could be put together in every instance. That is potentially one of the great things about our culture.
Every time you see or hear any encouragement to continue division in America, you see or hear our common enemy. America has everything needed to be safe, happy and free. Anything that works against that is attacking us all. Humanity has always been full of errors. Yet, we have clawed up from simple survival to tall towers of knowledge, wisdom, compassion and enlightenment. The ominous shadows of our limited past still cause fear, but we are almost to the point where we can all be free of it. Every binary, divisive urge is one that would hold us back, or, worse, seeks to plunge us back into the past. If you want to destroy our Republic, continue with a divided mindset.

That is nearly impossible since the most powerful force for shaping opinion is completely biased presenting one extreme view. We have lost our "Free Press" and that fact more than any other is why the country is so divided.I used to think that pretty much anyone could change their behaviors and mindsets, and decide to work towards healing and progress. I no longer feel that way.Every time you see or hear any encouragement to continue division in America, you see or hear our common enemy. America has everything needed to be safe, happy and free.

Those on the ends of the spectrum who are going to remain tribal won't be part of any constructive conversation that leads to progress and improvement. Society will need to find a way to simply marginalize them out of that particular conversation. That's the hard part, because they are by far the loudest. But we have to keep trying.
All the in order to form a "more perfect union", a better family of man.When abuses become too ingrained in a society, there is a need for people to question the social order, so that it may be reformed. Consider the actions of reformers like John Brown, Martin Luther, or Yeshua of Nazareth, who made their respective established orders boil with wrath.
"Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
-- Yeshua of Nazareth; as quoted in the Gospel of Luke 12:51-53
You are willing to declare parts of the country "our common enemy". In so doing, you are creating the deepest division imaginable. According to your own line of logic, you are the enemy. That line of logic currently serves to create the kinds of "illiberal democracies" in Brazil, Hungary, and Poland, and it appears to have arrived in the U.S. of A. as well.
Unity, if desirable at all, has to have a foundation in the form of Constitutional guarantees of inclusiveness, centered on equality. That's the only way to forge one entity out of a staggeringly, admirably diverse population with points of view, aims and aspirations representing black and white and every shade of gray and color in between. By necessity there are going to be divisions, as there are in anything humankind creates. These turn toxic and deleterious insofar as one part declares itself the righteous and dominant one, and the other part(s) the enemy.
