[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree. I'm MAGA and notice the same on the right. I think our adversaries benefit from pushing people away from the center and into extremes. I'm suspicious of basically any message that attacks the middle, because the middle is normie, mainstream America that almost no actual American finds offensive. [/quote]

Our adversaries aren't the only ones who benefit from furthering the political divide in American people. Extreme political division stokes hate and fear of the other side. A regular American citizen who identifies as a member of one of the two sides is much more likely to do two very important and noteworthy things when driven to the level of hate and fear and those are to remain fiercely loyal to a fault to their side and to donate money to support the fight against the evil other side.

Most Americans acknowledge the efforts of foreign adversaries to derail our path forward as a superpower and agree that these agendas are a threat that should be monitored closely and quelled when possible. Only some Americans are ready to acknowledge the possibility of efforts to divide the American people politically originating from within our political system. Two private entities are in complete control of our Federal Government. Loyalty from those who affiliate with these two entities and of course fundraising are two very obvious motivating factors for division to be stoked by players within our borders.

The regular everyday American people would benefit from a return politically to something that looks like the 1992 POTUS election when two very fit and qualified major party candidates were joined by a viable 3rd party candidate with enough support and fresh ideas to bring the very best out of the two major party candidates. There was a general sentiment among Americans that it wouldn't be the end of the world if the other side's candidate won that election. We had little reason to remain loyal to a fault or to donate feverishly to support the fight against the other side. What the American people benefit from and what two corrupt entities seeking to preserve their power benefit from are two very different things.

Great points!  Americans have been so used to a political landscape dominated by two major parties. I think most don’t truly get that these parties are private special interests groups — NOT some sort of inherent feature of our government.  They’re just the ones who have the policies and the cash to appeal to huge numbers of people, while dominating any competition.  [/quote]
