Barack Obama's presidency was supposed to mark a great leap forward for the United States. But, as Omar El Akkad discovered as he travelled across America this year, the election of Donald J. Trump has turned the country against itself. Scenes from a divided nation

Go back to Cairo where you came from. Or maybe its a little screwed up in Cairo and your afraid.
I thought we were playing the polar bear game. Good times.
Obama, with his 8 year practice of racism, identity politics & lawlessness, turned the country against itself. Trump was left with the mess. When the “right” normies (middle America, Christians, conservatives, hard working bluecollars, etc.) elected Trump because he would fight for them as opposed to the usual spineless Repub ‘uniparty’ candidates who went along with globalism, open borders, & accumulating more money/power for themselves, will of the people be d@mned, then Trump gets blamed for a “civil war”.
If Hilly had been elected, I believe a CW would have been the result & probably one that involved shooting, too.
This guy’s visa needs to be revoked.

Omar, Amercians don’t give a damn about your color, but we draw the line at humping goats ...
Omar El Akkad is a closet jihadi. He could experience SJS at anytime.
This guy is the best argument for keeping Mohammedans out of the country.
Omar get out of here while you can in one piece. After we are finished with the Swamp, you and your kind are next.
Yes, why are you still here Omar?
Ask yourself that . . . oh, right, you already have and you love it here
That’s the reality.
Oh, and that Barack Obama was “supposed” to be the healer, uniter et al
Ask yourself this also, Omar. What happened during those 8 years? Why did the “Unity” slogan disappear after Nov 2008?
Have trouble answering Omar? Or just too busy wiping the egg off your “color” face?
Amazing, he manages to gloss over the Fact that all the evils in America he whines about were done by the Democrat Party.
Omar, MOVE TO ANOTHER COUNTRY!
The division is real. It also started long before Trump thought about running for President.
Well, some immigrants require more heat to "melt". And we *do* possess the "heat".

Only in the delusional minds of insane liberals.
I read enough of his diatribe to understand he’s as clueless as most of the liberals who do not understand how vaginius maximus lost. Just because the media still drums for the left does not mean that represents the majority in this country. The majority had enough of the BS. They voted for Trump.
” safe spaces” are replacing melting pots
Minorities are demanding re- segregation
This was an extraordinarily ugly and hate-filled screed. The pseudo-intellectuals on the left are all but boiling over with impotent rage.
What can I do to push them over the edge?
I have news for you Omar; America has been pretty sharply divided since the election of Richard Nixon.
The Deep Red Left in this country hated Nixon and would not accept him as president. I don’t know why because Nixon was damned liberal himself.
After Nixon the Left went to war against Ronald Regan. Anyone who was conscious during the 1980s knew that the Left was ecstatic when Regan was shot by John Hinkley.
Then came the Bushes and again the Left could not bear the thought of either Bush in the White House. The Left made up tall tales and lies of every kind to prevent his election. And in Florida they tried to recount the votes until Man-Bear-Pig (Al Gore) won.
No, this country has been sharply divided since the Viet Nam War and the Communist Party of America invaded and took control of the Democrat Party.
Communist by their nature demand a single party system and any time they are not in total control they must attack constantly until they have regained control. The Democrat Party can no longer fit in to the roll of the 'Loyal Opposition'.
“It’s 2075, and America has been beset by flooding linked to climate change. The President has banned the use of fossil fuels. The southern states have broken away, looking to protect the coal mining industry. A rabid civil war is taking place. A weakened America sees new empires in China and the Middle East meddling in its affairs — and Mexico has annexed most parts of the Southwest, from Texas to California. “
“This dystopian world is the setting for a new novel, American War, by Omar El Akkad — who spent much of his career as a journalist with Canada’s Globe and Mail covering real disasters and conflicts. El Akkad says that of all the characters he created for the book, only one came to him fully-formed: Sarat Chestnut, the young girl at the center of the story. “At the start of the book she’s six years old,” he says, “and to me she’s sort of this very curious, trusting, defiant young girl whose chief attribute is this kind of rebellion against unknowing. She wants to know as much as possible. And the central arc of the book is essentially her life, and how her desire to know, her curiosity, is sort of used against her during this war.”
