The United States is bursting at its seams from division and hatred President Trump presides over

Dotard Trump is leading the United States toward ruin. His ship is sailing into uncharted waters. Trump does not even recognize the danger much less have a plan to correct coarse. Dotard Trump's GOP allies are too afraid of Trump to correct the damage. Off we go into the wild blue yonder!

As in power, we will be, literally, a divided country.
I don't want any part of them anyway. Calif will probably lead. Maybe, Canada would take blue states, but it would be complicated.

Those who watch Fox News - and those who don't. And the 36% who watch Fox News are emboldened by the network and think they're morally superior to the 64% who aren't screaming at Fox News 24/7. Our president is a Fox News watcher and he believes he is president of only those who watch Fox News. H It's been proven time and time again that his tweets pretty much mirror the talking points echoed ad nauseum on Fox. He tweets at Sean Hannity and Fox & Friends directly. He retweets crap posted by their correspondents. This week he addressed a known hate group - the first president in US history to do so - and nearly all of them are associated with that wretched network somehow. If we ever want to regain our status as a party, we have got to start taking back our media from these thugs.

We absolutely need to find some way to counter the RW media machine if we can survive as a country.

They didn't blow up overnight - it's been a long, slow build. You don't get your dream job after the first interview. It takes years, decades even and you have to go through a lot of crap to get it. We need to start out in small markets and expand that way.

Hopefully Ds can get some kind of big financial backing even to start small.

Not being the president. Maybe, someone in the White House can tell him it's his time for him personally to do his own thinking. He keep thinking, if I just undue Democratic legislation then I won't have to actually do anything. I'm nit sure the republicans know how to govern anymore.

And from what I could tell, most of the complaints about Obama's divisiveness seemed to center on his insistence on being black, no one in the popular media seems to think that President Trump is in the least bit divisive. It's a curious phenomenon.
