Check out the repeal of The Fairness in Broadcasting Doctrine during the Reagan area.I think you misunderstand what we mean when we say this country is going to hell. As far as being in America vs most anywhere else in the world, America is by far a better option. My comments are not about happiness and success. Those things can be had here aplenty.
However, what I’m talking about is the division that has been happening for the last 20 years. It’s getting worse. Take a look around, do you really see it getting any better? If you do, please point to areas where Americans with opposing ideologies are coming together.
All I’m doing is looking around at what’s going on in the world of politics and the amount of hate that is being generated because of it, and how polarized each side has become. I’m just not sticking my head in the sand and pretending it doesn’t exist.
Just in time as the Communists took over the MSM.Check out the repeal of The Fairness in Broadcasting Doctrine during the Reagan area.
That was what allowed the birth of such polarized, one sided political propaganda like Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, and the rest of the conservo talk radio nutcases.

No, you are reading into my comments a whole lot of things that aren’t there. I’m not talking about jobs or the economy or any of that. I’m talking about political division. I never mentioned any of that other stuff and it didn’t factor into my response.Success & happiness.
That's enough for me. Cool!
But you be you.

Are today's contretemps between MAGA-stan and the rest of America worse than the Civil War contretemps, the Viet Nam War division?
Nah!
What we are seeing is a sub-class of Americans who think their slice of the American Dream ain't as big as the thought it should be. And they are hissy-fitting about it. They lost their job, didn't get the promotion they thought due, their career stalled, they got downsized, rightsized, fired, they have a dickhead boss, their kid is into drugs, whiteys are being replaced, yadda, yadda, yadda. They are unhappy.
And Don Trump and Fox News comes along and tells them all those hissy-fitty things aren't their fault --- because an illegal immigrant snuck in, because a Deep Stater screwed 'em over, that black folks have an advantage, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Then Don Trump and Alex Jones and Steve Bannon and Q-Anon gave them somebody or something to blame. And blaming they are doing.
THAT is the 'division' you speak about.
The MAGA's I read here, and know in real life.....are whiney snowflakes.
No disrespect intended.
Also, you try to blame all the division on the right. That is polarization in a nut shell. I’ve seen plenty of divisive rhetoric from the left, but I’m willing to accept that people on the right can be divisive as well.Success & happiness.
That's enough for me. Cool!
But you be you.

The division is ideological. Dems favor more equality and conholes think that minorities have advanced too much. They try to enforce traditional hierarchies and gender roles.Ok, that’s a bit off my topic but, you say that is what polarized people on the right, but it also polarized people on the left. You act as if the fairness in broadcasting doctrine only affected people on the right…
Of course Grifty will be indicted. They didn't go through all this trouble not to indict.The Biden Crime Family got pummeled in court yesterday, so it is time for Merritless Gestapoland to push the "Indict Trump" button again to distract the Dimwinger base.
They knew Joe smelled before the election.Of course Grifty will be indicted. They didn't go through all this trouble not to indict.

This is exactly how the lunatic MAGAts on the right justify their "alternative facts."
They think that all opinions and beliefs are equally credible. They aren't. Some opinions and beliefs are more credible than others because they are based upon REAL facts and accurate information.
Let me see if I can think of some examples to clarify.
In January 2017 Donald Trump's innauguration had fewer people in attendance that Barack Obama had at his years before. Photographic evidence and official records confirmed this. Because he didn't want to "believe" this Trump made up an alternate reality that his numbers were actually higher. His MAGAt minions picked up on that alternate reality and the lie became their "fact" and the actual fact became a "lie" to them.
Same story with Trump's 2020 election loss.
And the list goes on and on.
Women don't agreeNo they don’t, that’s just something the left has invented, the repeated enough that they all actually believe it. The left has literally gaslit themselves.
Do you speak for all women?Women don't agree
I speak for the vast majority of women. They are pissedDo you speak for all women?
The difference is not not "helping minorities vs. preserving a hierarchy", it's individualism vs collectivism. The minority that needs to be valued is people who think objectively and speak their minds. It's individual values that matter, not group identity that one is born with and can't change. Broad labels such as "black" and "women" miss the point. There is a fundamental void in logic when we generalize.
This is not about women. It is about women who are what European ethnic women immigrating from other nations called generational spoiled women AMERRICONS. Deserved and special. And now very costly as we see real impoverishment increasing and the violence following suit.Women don't agree
