lines were drawn years ago, and if you haven't picked a side by now, you must be one of those undecided voters they told us so much about last fall

Never before has it been so apparent that the world is split and divided. The very act of having an opinion pushes us to almost “double down” on one side of the argument. It seems that the powers that be want us neatly separated into “two camps” and we are only too happy to oblige. But in actuality, it has always been like this; the advent of 24 hour news cycles just made it possible for us to be aware. And the reality is that there are “two camps” for almost every issue. The people are failing to be categorized by those that see us only as demographics and the response is to keep pushing division.
The division is made more apparent when they push the view of either “for or against”, which is not accurate and not the paradox they claim it to be. For example: I think that managed immigration is great for a country, AND I think that all illegal migrants should be deported as quickly as possible. Is this a paradox? Clearly not, but the method of pushing us into “two camps” makes it more difficult to define ourselves as a single issue: to be pro-migrant and pro-deportation.

Putting people into groups and pitting them against each other is pure Marxism. Divide and conquer.
What a bunch of blather...

I always tell my kids: the difference between conservatives and leftists is that we see something we don’t like, shake our heads maybe say a prayer and move on with our lives.
Leftists see something they don’t like, think no one should do it, and work out a multitude of ways to force people into doing what they want.
You nailed it.
So true. Mr. GG2’s snowflake daughter won’t speak to him as she is miffed over his FB remarks. Fortunately his son is halfway normal.
Sorry to hear that. Both my teen kids think I’m just about the worst person in the world right now. But they are teens and I pray they will grow up mentally as well as physically. They still profess conservative values, though I know the world and the school system is against us!
