Are we so politically divided now that our differences are irreconcilable?

Yes

But it probably won't matter for another few decades. Most Americans are willing to overlook the irreconcilable differences so long as they can still generally own guns, get abortions, say what they want, keep most of their money, etc.

If either side successfully starts to breach into these areas in meaningful ways, then the situation will get more serious

This Impeachment is a big step towards it. Once this scenario plays out again with a complicit Senate and they remove a President for such subjective charges we will definitely be at "irreconcilable".

No. The message that we are divided is 100% propaganda, and the people who receive that message are, generally speaking, marks who watch way too much tv.

Until Dems do some soul searching and do an internal evaluation of what’s going on, they will continue to destroy this country. They are the jerk at the playground who wants to take his ball and go home if things don’t go his way... and it’s not even his ball to take, but he doesn’t care. He tries to change the rules you’ve always had bc he thinks it’ll help him next time and is furious when the new rules still hurt him.

They’re acting like a power hungry mob with specific goals of their own they’re trying to impose, not a political party trying to represent their constituents. They don’t care what their people want, they lie and manipulate their fan base to do/say as they’re told without critical thinking.

Yes. 'Compromise between food and poison is death.'

Yes we are. Figuring out how the divorce will take place is going to be the trick.

It's been like this since Watergate - it's only blatantly obvious now because of social media.

It is...online, and, apparently, Portland...the rest of the country, IRL, seems to be normally going about their business and keeping their politics to themselves (of course there is the occasional jackass, but that's life).

Yes. My dad and I don't talk. He is a lost cause and cares more about party than rule of law or the constitution.


A total whack job. It will eventually be communist/libertarian eventually and that will be civil war like when the sides finally fill up.

Lots of republicans are becoming more libertarian minded and lots of democrats are becoming Communist minded. One side wants government to do everything and crush anyone who disagrees; the other side wants government to GTFO and allow people to dictate their own lives and allow states to govern how they choose.
