Barack Obama's presidency was supposed to mark a great leap forward for the United States. But, as Omar El Akkad discovered as he travelled across America this year, the election of Donald J. Trump has turned the country against itself. Scenes from a divided nation

This is one of those posts that could not be more wrong.

The right hated Obama more than the left hates Trump. The difference is that the right are civilized people who did not gen up a terrorist organization, like antifa, to commit terrorist acts and to stir up hate and racial violence.

The right knew that they too would have their day according to the election laws and our constitution and were content to wait until that time came. The left turned to sequential and constant bold faced lies and violence.

As all can see, the left has not demonstrated that patience or the logical and rational civil conduct that the right did.

To the author of this article I can honestly say you are a biased POS who doesn’t know your ass from a hole in the ground. You are trying to make up facts to rationalize the extra legal and uncivilized conduct of the left.

One thing about the right is that they learn fast. If what the left is up to now is considered to be acceptable then the right can do it faster bigger and better when their time comes.

Remember the nuclear option and Reid’s game, the right took their game plan and improved on it and now we will have a conservative SCOTUS for another couple of decades.

The left may invent some new rules but the right can make them better.

I stopped reading the Globe and Mail over 30 years ago for obvious reasons. I could not get through this article because the author jettisons all pretense of objectivity and factual based writing very early on.

In doing so, he confirms that he is unable to see what is truly before him and can only view America through the lens of a muslim supremacist/kaffir hating/pseudo intellectual/TDS sufferer.

The problem is not Donald Trump and the people who voted for him. The problem is people like Omar El Akkad who think that his ability to impute motives and read minds makes him a great "journalist".

The Left attack America on every front imaginable for 50 years and when the Right finally strike back IN DEFENSE OF AMERICA the Left want to call THAT an attack. It really is Time...

It is the same tactic used by globalist in the on going trade war the USA has been in with the rest of the world for 40 years. Those globalists will say if America does anything like raise tariffs it will "start" a trade war. These people are despicable and use this bully tactic to shut down discussion. WE ARE IN A TRADE WAR. Just because the USA doesn't fight back doesn't mean there is trade "peace".

You are correct, the left has been at war with the USA for 50 years.....
