A scary thought about politics in 2017

[Pray_4_War]

Right now we are waist deep in a culture war.  You can describe it many ways Right vs Left, Republican vs Democrat, Conservative vs Liberal, Traditional vs Progressive.  The evidence of that culture war is very present in front of our eyes these days.  Protests and violence in the streets.  People getting harassed everywhere by masked lunatics.  Black Lives Matter, the Women's March, Anti-Trump protests, Occupy Wall Street, Anarchists, etc.




The thing that occurred to me today:  Ideologically, we have less in common with each other than the North and the South did during the Civil War.

After the mood I've been in here lately all I can say is this..."Bring It Damn On"

[tom joad]

maybe just peacefully divide the USA in two?

Liberals get America's best cities and national parks ... where CNN is their national news network ... and there is universal healthcare, some gun regulations, access to abortion, transgendered bathrooms etc.

And conservatives get the great big heartland ... where Fox is their national news network ... and 2nd Amendment rights are not infringed, abortion is illegal, and no refugees are welcome etc.

The only problem with the above split is that the few counties that Hillary actually won account for about two-thirds of America's economic activity.

Solution is easy.  Turn Louisiana into an All Black State.  All blacks must move there, they will run on their own black gov.  The entire state will be surrounded by electric fences.  No gov funding for them.  Turn Mississippi into a factory state.  All goods that china makes will be moved to the factories there.  Build train lines in and out to all surrounding states. Allow them to charge as low as .75 cents and hour for minimum wage.  Expel the Jewish influence on Washington as they're the main cancer of this country.  Ever since they infiltrated DC the country has been getting more and more divided.  Open up all oil drilling in Texas and Alaska to be self sufficient.  Invade Mexico and claim another 400 miles south of the border and take over the entire Baja Penninsula.
Remove women from the workforce.  The increase of women in the workforce is directly related to the collapse of the American family and american values.

If Liberals believe they are right in their rioting, why do they cover their faces? A legit peacefull protester would not cover the face.
Those guys are plain anarchysts. They don't want better, they just want destruction.

All these folks that are trying to destroy the United States are going to be sorry when they finally get their wish.  Civil War isn't for pussies.

You can break it down quite simply - those who rely on the govt to provide their lifestyle vs those who don't - but those who don't pay for the others and are fed up with it.

The rest is just political smokescreen to control the masses while the big players front run and pillage the system that is in place.

 Anarchists,

Actually, what the MSM is calling Anarchists, are in fact Nihilists.

Read Proudhon and Kropotkin, for real Anarchist information.

If i use the affordable care act,  am a Muslim american, a mexican american, the child of an illegal, an lgbtq citizen, do you think i'd want him to succeed?

"The affordable care act".  What a fucking joke.  Naming your legislation "affordable" doesn't make if affordable.

I'm sure George Orwell had a good laugh about that one in the afterlife.
