Politicians Seek to Divide and Conquer

Does America seem to be more divided today than any other point in time since the Civil War? It would seem so, and it is by design.

Over the years politicians have lost sight of the fact that they are civil servants and not rulers. Clearly there is an issue when those who hold office want for nothing and that makes them feel superior to their fellow citizens. In turn, those in office view the citizenry not as constituents to serve, but as a means to an end. We are here to cast our votes for them to ensure they stay in power by saying one thing and then doing whatever is best for them, not what is best for us.

They engage in Orwellian doublespeak. Politicians campaign on promises to “unite” and “heal” the country, but instead keep us divided on purpose by pushing narratives that America is inherently racist, sexist, and any other “–ist” word they can find or make up. It is imperative for these politicians to keep us divided and at odds with each other because a united populace is antithetical to their goals. To keep us divided along the lines of race, sex, vaccinated, unvaccinated, and anything else to keep us arguing and debating amongst ourselves while the politicians continue to enrich themselves and we are too busy to notice those making daily press briefings are wolves in sheep’s clothing.

The goal is to keep the citizens divided while they pander to their base and special interests, to keep us occupied debating and arguing amongst ourselves so we do not notice that they are gaining power and millions of dollars for themselves while doing nothing to solve the problems they created but use to stay in power.

while doing nothing to solve the problems they created but use to stay in power.

Like doing gain of function experiments to actually create COVID-19?

For most of the history of Civilization most people have been ruled by an inbred clique of rulers who, unsurprisingly , set up the system to keep themselves in power. For a brief shining moment America was the exception. It took awhile for the corruption to set in but we now have a new variation of the same old Game of Thrones: a Democracy Aristocracy.

From the article:
Both parties are complicit. We as a nation need to stop buying into the lies that are being fed to us........

Too many friendships and families have been divided by politics lately, and this tribalism only benefits the politicians, not the people they are supposed to be serving.

I see where Pelosi and her squadron of liberal flying “Nancys” are planning a big January Sixer celebration to worship the DC security guard, Aquino Gonell. The fruitcake immigrant who believes he prevented VP Pence from being lynched on January 6th by the Americans. The boy must have one hell of an imagination. A real “american” action hero. Quick. Somebody give him a medal. LOL.

Sala Burton was a firebrand in Calif politics and anointed Nancy Pelosi her heir in 1987 because Nancy was ruthless. It was the beginning of this current period of hate.
