I don't know the quote of the top of my head, but it's from George Washington, who thought that political parties would not be good for our government.

Today we are more divided by political parties than ever (both parties want you to stereotype everyone who is a member of the other party so you will be loyal to your party).

But there are other ways that dividing us has been weaponized. The whole black lives matter bullshite. I don't think it was created to divide us, but once it was created people used it to divide us. Think about how strong it had become and then after the presidential election of 2016, it pretty much just went away.

But let's say other countries want to be the world's super power or an even bigger super power. Is dividing us the way to really hurt us?

the biggest threat is communism changing the nation from within degree by degree until the values it once stood for: self-reliance, economic mobility, free market capitalism, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, private property rights, etc are replaced with dependence on the state.

The whole point was to divide so no side could ever yield absolute power.

Nah, it’s either ignorance or apathy.

But frankly I don’t know and I don’t care....

We arent guaranteed any of those values in perpetuity. In a representative democracy it all comes down to the ballot box. If enough people want it, they can have the system of government they want. It ain't easy, but neither tradition nor a constitution are impervious to it.

The ones that will kill it are already here. It’s not immigrants. They come in wanting to work and not expecting anything more than a fair shot. The welfare and progressive class don’t want to work, want it all for free and want me to pay for it.

Immigration is just a high value media target.

No I got you, but I tried to turn you calling me ignorant into part of the discussion.

hatred of God leads to stuff like communism which leads to problems like mass illegal immigration(takeover by other nations/peoples) which leads to future destruction

I’m glad someone said this. I thought this would be very unpopular here, but immigration is not at all as big of a threat as many people think it is.

Most come here for job opportunity because there is a huge demand for cheap labor. Americans can’t feed their families working on farms and cleaning hotel rooms. Americans don’t want to be over worked and underpaid (when I say underpaid I am talking minimum wage), but to those who come here, they are making enough to send back to their families, which is worth more in their country.

I mistakenly thought you might show more charity.

You know you might need to walk in someone else’s shoes before you judge them.
