Most of Us here on this site & across America find what has been going on & feels that is going on is a topic that runs through almost every post.
The divided issue is deep & contains no real solution.
It is the divide & will stay divided until we can come together on middle ground & see what is behind this division.
In as few words as can be put we are on a course where more & more wealth is in fewer hands.
More & more people are left with living with a smaller share of what this Nation produces.
This Nation which once was the home of a Great Dream of Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Happiness.
Has now succumbed to be a place that is controlled by the Few for the Few with Liberty & Justice for the Few.
This has come from choices made by the People for their Leaders.
We have been lead by who ever or what ever has lead to the Division we now a part of.
We have been divided by a 2 Party Political system that has worked in to divide us & keep us divided.
The answer does not lay on one side or the other.
The answer is that there are not 2 sides to the issue coming from the Political actions in realty. But from the supporters of the Parties.
WE THE PEOPLE HAVE LET THOSE IN CONTROL USE THE POWER WE HAVE GRANTED THEM TO USE IT FOR THEIR OWN ENDS.
Now the real issue is why we who should have the real power in this issue allow this to continue to happen.
The Election of Trump has not changed & will not change the course we are on.
It has only pointed out the deepness of the mess we are in.
Only the sanity of those of us who occupy what has or was the heart of this Nation (The Middle) to stop pointing out or differences & seek areas of agreement.
Where we are & where we are going will not change until then.
Most of Us here on this site & across America ... (

Outstanding Post I can appreciate you’re thoughts and you’re sincerity. We have many question we should ask ourselves and in an attempt to get an answer as to wether you’re goal is to divide or maybe come together.
First Question: When Obama was president did I agree with the Deficit increasing. And what caused the deficit to increase
Second: what will a wall accomplish on the Southern border.
Third is Barrack Obama a Muslim and was he born in Kenya, why did he have a name change and who gave him the nickname Barry.
Fourth what did the Bush Tax cuts do for me personally, did these tax cuts create jobs, did these tax cuts bring manufacturing job back to America.
Why did we invade Iraq and how was ISIS formed.
Why do Muslims around the world actually hate American citizens.
What actually constitutes sexual harassment or sexual misconduct.
Is climate change real
Do we need to create a different gun couture
What was deficit spending under the last 8 presidents.
Do we actually understand what socialism, Capitalism, Marxism really means. And fully understand why the US has a combination of all three.
Does the Democratic Party actually want a total socialistic society.
Does the Republican Party actually want a total capitalistic society.
Do you know the meaning of domocracy. Do you understand how our democracy was created.
Why does the right wing that the left wing is coming to take you’re guns away.
What are the positives of allowing Corporate money into our politics.
Do we actually have voter fraud in this country.
Do you believe the charges against sexual harassment and Pedaphilia on Roy Moore, Al Frakan and Donald Trump.
The Benghazi scandal was it used for polical purposes.
Why were all the embassy attacks over the last 30 years ignored.
We’re the Clintons actually invovled with the murder of 52 people.
Is the Russian scandal real or is it made up scandal because the Democrats lost the election.
Was Trump colluding with Russians then obstructed the Justice Department from doing an investigation.
Why were there 9 members of the Trump campaign meeting with Russians. Did they lie or did they just did not recall.
Instead of listening to right wing and left wing media how many people in this country actually read legislation sponsored by the left or Right legislators.
Is the ACA collapsing
How many people actually read the 2018 Budget and the tax cut plan.
Do you believe that all MSM is fake news
I am not trying to debate this all over again I have posted time and time again of my perceptions on all these issues but 90% of the time all I got was insults. Why the insults that’s what divides. Reasonable debates bring us all together.
For most of my life I was a conservative and I moved towards the middle. I voted for Ronald Reagan the first time I believed in Trickle down economics. When it did not work and all it did was create a deficit due to lost revenue and Reagan stole the money from SS to soften his rising deficit it was disappointing to me. Reagan did create jobs but it had nothing to do with Tax cuts but more of the Fed. Reserve drastically lowering interest rates that stimulated borrowing power for small business.
So where do we start to heal the wounds over the last 30 years. Certainly not debating the above questions because there is no way because to many lies and misinformation have created an ideological divide.
