I never have been able to "fit" into a category when it came to politics.
Reason being, there are things from both sides of the isle that I like, as well dislike.
Hence why I call myself an Independent.
One reason why it seems our Nation is more divided than ever, I think is mainly due to 24 hour cable news and social media.
Just think about that for a sec...
Remember back in the day when it was just 3 news channels, at certain time slots?
Of course, that was back when reporters reported the news, not inject their opinions into it.
So what we have now a days, are so-called journalists putting their spin (opinion) on the matter at hand depending on their own personal views. No longer being "objective" in reporting.
Then we have social media which is a breeding ground for hostility.
Keyboard warriors, internet bullies who have no problem dissing those who have opposing views.
Now then, I will have to say, it does seem like under the Obama Admin. our Nation has become more divided than united and I feel his actions towards some things are partly to blame.
Having said that, isn't that what the 2 political parties are used for, keeping the populous divided?
And isn't that what the government in general, regardless of who is in office, prefers? When we are divided?
What blows my mind, is them calling Trump a traitor and already "predicting" what he will/will not do when he has NEVER HELD A POLITICAL OFFICE BEFORE.
Oh and not to mention, he is not even sworn in as President yet, so how can he be charge for treason?
And what for may I ask???
Yes, the Dems seem to have forgotten how corrupt and deceiving Hillary is/was.
Plus she mainly ran to make history being the first Woman president.......whoopie fuckin shit.
Sorry, but think you need a better platform to run on than just your gender.
And how/why the Dems can be proud of Obamacare is beyond me.
Do believe that can also be part to blame for Hillary's loss.
Pretty bad when her own husband called Obamacare "Crazy".
Basically, the people may have favored Hillary more so than Trump, being he was an unknown in the D.C. arena.
And winning the popular vote by only 3 million votes is nothing to brag about IMO. Not much of a lead there.
She should have won by a land slide in that department, but she didn't.
But when it was all said and done, she was the least trusted of the two. And Trump had a strong message, tapped into the people's needs where as Hillary had none.
Trump could relate to the people.
Hillary could only relate to herself -- her needs/wants. She was out of touch with her ideas of what the people wanted.
Will have to say, this has to be one of the most emotionally charged elections I have seen yet.
Thanks to 24 hour 'spin-room' news and social media.
The haters are gonna hate, no matter what Trump does.
Even if he were to make it rain gold down on us, they would still hate him.
And I personally blame the MSM for much of the division, which we have seen first hand ourselves how agenda driven news reporters are now a days.
Even tho Trump won fair & square, the MSM is still trashing him, trying to take away from his win.
All because THEIR candidate of choice LOST!!
Nothing like having sore losers in control of our media, eh?
I also think another reason that has divided us was the BLM and turning on cops, with Obama pushing the narrative.
(Remember when Obama spoke up, taking sides of Trayvon Martin/Michael Brown before the facts were ever in, siding with criminals due to their skin color)
With Trump fixing to be in office, maybe at least that won't be front and center anymore. (race)
I am sooooooo sick & tired of the race card being thrown in my face just because I may disagree with his foreign policies or Obamacare.
THAT in of itself is partly to blame too!
Ann Coulter called that one from the get-go, before Obama won in 2008.
That anyone who disagrees with Obama would be called a racist.
Maybe now we can focus on the economy, jobs, and National Security.
You know, important stuff for ALL Americans.
I just hope that the MSM will cool it with their hateful rhetoric towards Trump enough to give him a chance to lead, as well as let the public decide on their own, if they are satisfied with his Presidency or not.
And stop calling everyone one who voted for Trump a racist, bigot, Islamophobic, xenophobe or whatever else insult the Left and MSM want to sling out there.
Hell yeah that in of itself will keep the country divided!!
So much hate being spewed, so much hate.
