In the cities people need to live cooperatively and they understand ways that government structures can help them.
Over time people have moved to areas that favor their lifestyle and share their beliefs, so the country has become more polarized.

But they sure like government funneled money from blue states. It’s only interference when their guns and bibles are threatened.

Look at the Hyundai fiasco in Georgia. Those red state fools just cannot stop kicking themselves in the balls.

Republicans are hate filled people.

Americans are hate filled people.

My MIL doesn’t even know a single Republican personally, but she speaks of them as the evil, ignorant monsters. She says she’ll never stoop low enough to speak to one.

Hate is everywhere and people have lost the ability to respect others with differing beliefs. They use hyperbole and stereotypes, sticking to the image of the monsters they’ve created.

But republicans voted for Trump, which certainly makes them evil, ignorant monsters. This isn’t a situation with two sides. I’d be happy to see republicans fighting against Trump, I just don’t see any. Feel free to post it.

Yes republicans should be voting for democrats otherwise they're evil.

True. When corporations became people under Citizens United, and campaign finance died, our Democracy was basically doomed.

Add in a culture which is more and more anti-education and this is where you end up.

The fact that the divide between the richest the vast majority of Americans who have little generational wealth grows wider each year due to Ronald Reagan's tax reforms, and you end up with the toxic morass of American political life today.

Let's be clear that every single one of these trends was advanced and primarily championed by Republicans.

When people say that both sides contributed to this equally that is a bald-faced lie.

Yes, we should just ignore ActBlue money laundering.

100%. And now the Trump admin has stopped cracking down on tax shelter for the rich and major corporations: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/business/trump-irs-tax-shelters.html

So, rich just get richer. US corporations can avoid paying more in taxes. Guess who is left holding the bag? the rest of us.

Any normal/regular American giving money to the GOP and Dem Parties in 2025 is a bat poop crazy loon. If you have tens of millions of dollars to invest in some political influence, then I can see where "donation" investments make sense.

You just proved my point.

Without talking to anybody, you simply assigned labels: evil, ignorant, monster.

That’s just as hateful. Perhaps you don’t see it, but those of us who moderately sit in the middle see this behavior from progressives and Trumpers.

When you resort to name calling, you’re part of the problem whether you accept it or not.

You Kevin McCarthy people who sit in the middle are the problem. If you were truly in the middle you wouldn’t have cast away your votes. Just because two parties vie for your vote doesn’t make you as special as you claim. Like Niki had a chance. Until you fund and do the work to create a relevant 3rd party, you’re just an…丨ʹɱ 𝑎Π 丨ΠɗҼᵱҼΠɗҼΠ七。

McCarthy for all his problems, being a Republican, was still the leader that achieved a compromise with Democrats.
