    This is the Russian plan. It was never about Trump. It was about payback for break up of the USSR.

    United we stand, divided we fall.

    They’ve made us divided: not MAGA, but the gov’ts abroad who have exported the subversion of a debatable reality. Look at Vladislav Surkov’s strategies and how they are here, in America. You don’t debate your enemy, you debate the notion of truth.

    Trump 1 introduced the term “alternative facts,” and now these people sit in a room talking about an ideology as bad, not a formal group or person.

      We’ve always been divided. Natives against colonizers. White against black. Slavers against abolitionists. Urban against rural. “Communists” against “real Americans.”

      Unity had always been a lie, a story, an excuse for a slow compromise that keepa the landowners ahead.

          We aren’t even at “Registered Republican Bathroom Only” levels of division yet. (Incidentally, sundown towns still exist in this country)

          The Civil War never really ended because we never actually dealt with the traitors. We compromised on slavery and now we have more slaves than we ever did when a man could own another man, we just need to throw them in jail first. John Brown was right.
