Re: Sad to read this
The thing is that in the middle of all of this polarization you have liberals, who no longer want to affiliate with the dems, and conservatives, who don't want to tag along with the repubs. Both sides, however, have held onto either party for better or for worse for such a long time because both realize that the alternative is a voice that is silent, one that basically says nothing because both extremes are far too vocal in their battlefront. How do you walk the balance when the two main leading partys draw further apart on everything that is everything as the days go by? If you tip the scales one way, everything on the other end goes flying off, and that's just no way to live.
And then, you have the media. Either you're watching CNN which is mostly favorable to the democrats, or you're watching Fox news, which is mostly favorable toward republicans. Everyone else falls somewhere in between those two lines. The agendas are there and what people want to do with money, ratings, airtime, advertising and any other resources available. Meanwhile, the two huge juggernauts continue to run at each other, gathering speed and force along the way for the inevitable clash. Yes it's coming; civil war as far as I'm concerned, is inevitable. To what degree, I do not know, but I hardly doubt Trump will let go of the office even if Biden is declared winner, and that is bound to spark some sort of backlash. ON the other hand, if Trump is declared winner, I doubt the dems will take it lying down.
the story repeats itself; those who fought the civil war of 1861 would have told you that slavery was the issue being contested. The sad thing is that while the parties were split between Union and confederate, between north and south, both were guilty of slavery. The difference was in how they did it. the south, supposedly the more evil of the two, forced people of color to work out on the fields. The north, meanwhile, forced slave labor in factories under harsh conditions. In the end, minorities didn't really end up all that much better for it, and if you have any reason to believe they did, you're sadly mistaken. That is what much of this is about. As long as these two parties are given the power they've been allowed to experience for as long as they have, this cannot end well. I think the first time I truly saw it in action was during the government shutdown of 2013, where it was clear that neither party truly wanted to give one way or the other.
