    We need a “bad guy” for everyone to get back on the same team but as it turns out, we are the “bad guy”.

      that’s why we keep being forced to chose between the lesser of two evils; it’s still evil either way

        Except people aren’t choosing the lesser of 2 evils every time. If they did, it would pass back across that “Evil” line. That’s literally the nature of it.

          Not when both choices keep gradually drifting towards more evil. The current Dem leadership is to the right of Reagan and trying to rehabilitate one of the worst war criminals and -profiteers in the history of the world and his ideologically identical daughter.

      I see what you are saying but I don’t think that’s the problem. The problem is the media turning everything into a dramatic fight for freedom. It happens on both sides and it is always us vs them.

      Americans need to stop believing what they are told and do there own research. Additionally, we need more factual sources of information. (Spoiler: the national news isn’t one of them)
