Seems there is a lot going on trying to divide and conquer people according to as many different divisions as can be made.

Fat people are evil. Certain races are trouble. Certain races are bigots. Males are bad. People who are conservative are potential terrorists. People who like safer bigger vehicles are likkling the planet. People who don’t like confiscatory taxes are unpatriotic according to our VP. People who don’t believe in junk science global warming are going to doom those that do. People who believe in God are the causes for everything bad in the world, even more than the secularists and statists who’ve killed more of their own citizens in the 20th century than any ‘religious’ wars ever have. Straight people who want to preserve the definition of marriage from distortion by gays are hateful and trampling queers’ civil rights. People and animals who breathe are now producers of a pollutant CO2, which is funny because plants require CO2 to live. (If the plants die, we die.) If you’re an American everyone else is now conditioned to believe we are responsible for every bad thing that happens in the world outside our country. Unions versus management. Smokers versus non-smokers. Rich people are the reason for poor people and all thier problems. Law abiding gun owners are demonized to be more of a threat than the armed thugs who actually commit gun violence. You can only have free speech during certain times if you’re a 527 group, who cares what the 1st amendment says. And of course, let’s not forget the perennial Jews as the source for everything bad in the world, and how all our problems would just go away if Israel would (and please note I say this sarcastically).

They use whatever division works, to further ensure less people can get along to work together on other issues. Keep everyone fighting with themselves and deflect attention from stuff pretty much all of them would be against. You know, like maybe the end of the country as we know it? Like possibly a red flag incident being pulled off in order to alter the country so that it can never go back to what it was.

Pitting myriads of groups against each other and riling things up is a great way to keep peoples’ focus off something you don’t want them to pay attention to. Divide and conquer. It also makes everyone guilty of something. We all wind up falling into some ‘problem’ category that if we step out of line, someone can always point to and say ‘shut up or we’ll get you back in line’.
