Matt Gaetz, Michael Malice, & Glenn Beck: united America is bad, leads to egregious laws like the Patriot Act, we need division where nothing get done

[basquebromance]

The genius of America's performative political culture is that everyone on Earth can take part in it, often more eagerly than Americans themselves, so that even Vladimir Putin sees the apocalyptic struggle between Good and Evil through the lens of 'America divided'.

Yes we live in a divided country with the forces of good and evil battling it out.

Whatever happened to "United, we stand. Divided, we fall", or "A house divided against itself, cannot stand"????

It still holds true.

It still holds true.

Not according to Gaetz, Malice or Beck. You need a divided Congress to keep stuff like the Patriot Act from passing.

If any truth in that statement, it died in 1913.

The same thing is true of Democrats. You are just a partisan hack.

I'm not even an American, much less a Democrat. I am an outside observer of American politics, discussing what have been observing from next door, for the past 60 years.

Democrats are the party that went along with Reagan's tax cuts in the 1980, and the War in Iraq in 2002, in an effort to support the President the people had elected. It used to be called "bi-partisanship" . Since Clinton, there is just open warfare between Republicans and the rest of nation. "Bi-partisanship" is considered a "betrayal" and "disloyalty".

Republicans even refused to vote for aid to the children of Flint Michigan until there was a Republican in the White House. And don't try to say there was other stuff in the Bill. They could have passed a clean Bill for those kids and they refused.

Only a fool would live in a near total African American controlled situation where the politics are pure Prog Socialist and the corruption into the rafters. That city could not even provide water. What a joke.

I know the story. Once the City had black leaders, the state disenfranchised the voters of Flint and installed an all white board to manage the city's affairs, while at the same time, the state disinvested in the City and its infrastructure:

Flint water crisis | Summary, Facts, Governor, & Criminal Charges

Flint water crisis, human-made public health crisis (April 2014–June 2016) involving the municipal water supply system of Flint, Michigan. Tens of thousands of Flint residents were exposed to dangerous levels of lead, and outbreaks of Legionnaire disease killed at least 12 people and sickened...

Wash, rinse and repeat for Jackson, Mississippi. Every time they tried to raise money for a new water treatment plant, that plant was built for the suburban white people, not the City of Jackson.

White State leaders disinvest in communities where black politicians have been elected to positions of power and leadership. And you continue to blame black leaders for the problems created by the racism of white state leaders.

Mind your own business.

Democrats as well as Republicans are responsible for this.
