Good point. No matter who is in power, 50% of the country is going to be pissed off.
Pretty much. Actually, it’s probably around 30-35% on either side. The actual middle is made up of people with no clue. They are the idiots that voted for Obama because “it was time for a change.” These are the idiots who can’t tell you who the Vice President is, and can’t identify any of the first ten amendments to the Constitution. They are simply fodder for the hucksters who run things. They’ll vote for either party, depending on their mood.
I concur - and I think it’s very worrying. The last time the nation was this divided was back in the 1850’s, and look how THAT panned out. The problem is that Republicans stroke conservatives and democrats stroke liberals now embody two completely different and divergent philosophies of what America is, and more importantly, what it should become. I frankly do not see how a consensus or even a compromise between them can be successfully achieved.
