More divisive than ever in 2017, or just more publicized?

Being 30, I don't really remember the early 90s and the black white race junk, for those who are older, do you find the people more devisive now in 2017 than ever, or is it just more widely publicized now than ever with the social media and 24/7 news stations.

To answer your question, it's not as bad as the 60s. That was a legitimate movement though. This is entirely different and is mainly just knuckleheads and idiots.

To me it's not even close. Rodney king, OJ, all of that got blown up nation wide but nothing compares to the Facebook and Twitter commentaries like I ever remember.

When a Dem wins there is 'unification.' When the GOP wins there is 'division.'

It's all explained right here:

I'd say the civil war was pretty divisive

In WWII "unity" meant shared sacrifice. To the progressives, "unity" means everyone else should indulge their every whims.

For the last decade or so, the media has fawned over anyone who had some complaint that they were not being treated fairly or were offended by something.

They're mad now because Trump doesn't give a shite about these types of complaints.

All of this division is from make believers and opportunists

Is artificial and is honestly shameful compared to when we had issues you could March about.

Turds who used to be hidden from society now have a voice via social media.

This is the most divisive I've seen it in my lifetime thanks to a president who spent 8 years dividing the country as much as possible.

Most of their premise is based on false narratives. And the media is largely responsible for this. They are very dangerous and are the real threat to America because it's pretty much turned into full blown colluding (as WikiLeaks showed) with one side through propaganda.

Many of these people protesting want total control over everything and think they have a right to it any possible way they can. Screw the democratically elected process.

They're the real authoritarians. And they're far from tolerant.

Division, homelessness, and the national debt are only problems when Republicans occupy the White House. That's because the liberal MSM down play their achievements, inflate their failures, and just plan make shite up to damage those they politically disagree with. Notice how wonderful they portray Obama's economy that is blah at best. This is the worse recovery post WWII. The MSM used to deride low paying and part time jobs as McJobs. Now they are great!

MSM always portrays Republican presidents as dumb, undignified, unpresidential, backwards, and illegitimate clowns. Always! And of course all Democratic presidents are smart, upstanding, presidential, forward looking, saviors.

The only thing new is how Trump uses technology and humor (Reagan like) to belittle, bypass, and diminish them.
