(22,976 posts)Yes, we are indeed divided, because Republicans have departed from their longtime posturing about big central government, adhering to Constitution, law and order, fiscal responsibility, values, etc. More broadly, they have created (and continue to generate) a new reality that isnt based upon measurable facts whatsoever; rather, its whatever those currently in power wish it to be. And thats frankly insane.
Until Trump, Americans had never witnessed such a dangerous amassing of executive power. The ideals of a constitutional democratic republic have been utterly discarded.
The country is in uncharted territory now. A minority of zealots has learned how to control and concentrate power over the majority. The United States has its first truly fascist dictator.
