We are politically divided, there is no doubt. But we have been more bitterly divided before. Why have we forgotten that? Because today we have social media and an unfiltered news media that creates stories without the due diligence of professional journalism.
We have a political ideology that believes government cannot do anything right except arm and train the Armed Forces and patrol the streets with police officers who, in their opinion, are without reproach. This ideology believes that business is infallible. Business can pollute because business creates jobs. Business can produce unsafe shoddy products, but the aggrieved public can seek justice in court, as if the aggrieved public has the same caliber of legal power as business.
Government is inept, corrupt and self serving if you listen to this ideology. Therefore the powers of government must be reduced. That is unless a woman wants control of her reproductive system. Then government should be at her side and in her head and in her uterus. Government should not interfere in personal lives, nless two homosexuals want to avail themselves of the rights and privledge of the marriage contract. The government should not have power over personal lives, unless you want to discriminate against that homosexual couple. In that event, the government should protect your right to be a bigot.
Another ideology believes that government can affect solutions for problems which effect the nation at large. This ideology further believes that business, while beneficial economically, should be regulated for the ill business does. This ideology believes that taxes, while too high, should be paid in fair, reasonable amounts by everyone who benefits from the conditions business is conducted under.
We are divided alright. Bit it has been worse, just not as noisy.
