Nonsense...America has always had differences between it’s citizens, some periods of time more, some less. Heck, we fought a war over four years that pitted brother against brother, in some cases, and still survived to become stronger. Contrary to what the mass media and social media would have us believe, Americans have a lot of tolerance for diversity in thought...it’s what makes us great, just don’t force your thoughts on me, and I won’t force mine on you. However, what we don’t, and shouldn’t tolerate, is a failure in the rule of law...and that does appear to be a problem over the last 10 years, or so. That can become a sticky problem if Americans lose their trust in institutions that are supposed to be fair, and impartial, re: “blind”, in the application of the law.

How about when "they" force them on your kids?

Some Americans, perhaps...by no means all. To paraphrase the late, great Bill Buckley, Libs are all for diversity of opinion...until they find it.

I believe you're engaged in wishful thinking, dreaming of an America which no longer exists.

The irony is that we were actually less divided in ideology back in 1860.

In which ten percent of the males of the country perished or were crippled. So MANY liberals, leftyists and fellow travelers, and America is so small. Where will we bury them all....
