If we could all just realize and take in how lucky we are to be Americans regardless of color creed or code maybe we could get past the identity politics and divisive political discourse and just work to keep our country great and prosperous.

This is why the MSM pretty much refuses to show any world news. They are afraid people would see how shitty much of the world is and then realize how it's really not that bad here for pretty much everyone.

My kids and I sit and watch the world news and I don't really chime in. My 8 year old has already stated "daddy I'm glad we live in America where I can ride my bike up and down the street and play outside. These other places the kids can't even play".

I did not put that in her head. She derived that herself simply by being exposed to the rest of the world an issues they face.

Our media keeps much of our populace in a bubble. It is a huge concern of mine for all this social media and their algorithms setup to tailor itself to the user. The user ends up with tunnel vision.

Many are losing perspective. That is a very dangerous thing. If our media ran Venezuela and how shitty it is every night I believe it would have a huge impact.
