There is pure hatred now, it doesn't matter who the President is, I just don't know that it can be overcome. The differences in ideology are now so great, the view for where this country should go is so vastly different.

I guess I am just sort of venting here, it's just discouraging to see everything devolve into hatred, which ultimately means we can't accomplish anything.

I think a HUGE thing is we have lost empathy in the world. We need it to recover and come together, no matter our political views.

I think there's been hate there for a long time; It's now more exposed with advances in technology. And it's both parties pushing the hate to be honest. The exposure has forced the parties to dig in, in order to try and protect the core values of each party. Most Americans get stuck in the middle and are too dumb to know they're being played like a fiddle and have been for many years.

There are givers and takers in this world. The takers are growing exponentially and taking more and more from the workers, while at the same time demonizing the workers. The fact that the workers haven't said ENOUGH, is empathy enough.

The division is coming directly from the takers and those who are exploiting the takers to gain power. Spin it how you want but those are the facts. Maybe the takers should get a job and better themselves.

The left and right are so far apart now that I really don't see a way to ever work together again. It's gonna be full resistance and obstruction by the minority party until we hit a breaking point.

Things will get better when the Republican people all die off or wake up and stop drinking the kool aid of the idiot entertainers.

This isn't about who works and who is on welfare.
Both parties have members who work and members who take assistance. The takers are a minority on both sides.

The left wants to change everything that America was founded upon, that's the problem.

THEY alone are the problem

This is the dumbest meme currently in circulation.

The politics of division are failing. Naming and shaming tactics are failing. The entities most engaged in promoting that -- cable and network news -- are failing.

The loudest voices of division are being ignored, with Holy Rollers and SJW's getting shoved into the corner and loudly shushed by sensible people.

Don't get me wrong, I like Trump and voted for him, but his administration is a circus. I feel like the U.S. needed a circus, though.

Once the Trump circus is out of town, we'll see things improve drastically.

This. Conservatives believe America is a great country and want to maintain it.

Leftists believe America is horrible and unfair and needs to be completely torn down so it can be rebuilt from the ground up.

They are the destructive ones.

Cultists, or the brainwashed, will never compromise even one inch. It would be the start of the destruction of their lies, and they can't handle that. Ignorance is bliss.

The vocal minority on both sides is clouding the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans continue to live, work with and befriend others of all races, sexual orientations, religions and political views without any issue whatsoever.

This "division" simply doesn't exist in the day to day lives of normal everyday folks.

Solid post, but don't expect them to ever see their brothers in "economic anxiety" to be seen as takers.

I don't mean to play sides here, but this is the fault of the left.

For the last 8 years anytime someone has the audacity to disagree with the left, they're labeled a ____-ist and thereby have any hope at honest debate immediately shut down. There can be no compromise with a group of people that have so little substance to their argument that all they can do is use labels to which there is no good defense.

The Left went insane. Sorry, frick them. I hate them.

They want Trannies in the Army, and unlimited Muslim migration, just like Europe.

In short, they want to undermine and destroy the country I call home. They deserve hatred, and when it comes down to it, I will happily defend what is left of this country against the Leftist nutjobs who seek its destruction.

We're not going to forget the shite you assholes have done and said the past 15 years.
