15. We are a nation divided because some people decided to divide us.
Tue Sep 12, 2023, 07:00 PM

It was in their interests to lie about government being a big problem (Reagan) or lenient Democratic policies letting black people commit crimes (Willie Horton and Bush Sr.) or geeky Gore predicting climate disasters that we’re now living though—or hoping we make it through the next one.

Republicans long ago chose the path of white supremacy and rule by their minority because they had the judges, the voters, the media on their side. But finally we have a younger generation who sees how they have tried to destroy our beautiful country, and they are not falling for their Republican BS and hatred against everyone who does not conform to their patriarchal view of life. May the Republican Party die a quick but painful death.
