First of all, I do want to say that I don't blame Trump for the Down's Syndrome "Bomber". Was this drooling imbecile inspired by Trump's hostile rhetoric? Possibly, probably, and he (Trump) should probably chill out with that (not that I think he will in a million years). but still ....
Not shut the fuck up about it, right-wingers. This conspiracy theory peddling is just sad and pathetic.
To the point, why does Trump STILL pay lip service to unity when it's clear that he prefers a divided nation? That part still confuses me. Does anyone actually still believe Trump has a chance to unite Americans? Maybe he had a chance RIGHT AFTER THE ELECTION, but it's been a few years since then and winning over new supporters is clearly not a priority of his. I wish he would just quit pretending and admit, "I only care about my supporters. Everyone else can get fucked." I would respect that rare moment of honesty from him.
There is a difference between a divided government and a divided people. In a democracy, divided government is the norm, but it is not normal to see the kind of vitriolic divisions among the people as we do now. If you examine President Trump's rhetoric, he fiercely attacks his political opponents, including elements of the media, but he does not attack those segments of the American people who oppose him.
On the other hand, the Democrats' close embrace of identity politics, to the exclusion of nearly all important political or economic issues, encourages divisions among the American people, seeking to persuade segments of the population to feel excluded, exploited so that Democrats can claim to be their champions. The Democratic strategy of identity politics has even tried to divide the American people in half, with Hillary declaring half the American people were unworthy of any consideration in her "deplorables" speech, the message of which has been repeated over and over by other Democratic politicians. We saw again how the Democrats sought to deepen divisions among the American people during the march about Lee's statue in Charlottesville. President Trump stated that both sides were responsible for the violence, a statement that was supported by the police who were there but not by the Democrats or much of the media, but the Democrats called all those who opposed removing the statue nazes, fascists, KKK, while ignoring the antifa troops who came to the march in masks and carrying clubs. A perfect example of President Trump trying to bring the American people together and the Democrats seeking to divide them.
While battling Democratic politicians, President Trump has consistently tried to bring the American people together, but the Democrats have consistently tried to divide Americans. When William Clyde Allen III sent ricin to the President, Mattis, and others in the administration early in Oct., did the President try to exploit this to characterize and vilify all Americans who supported Democrats? No, but now that Ceasar Sayoc has sent fake bombs to some prominent Democrats, Democratic politicians can do nothing else. Again, the President seeks unity among the American people and the Democrats seek deeper and deeper divisions.
