Sr. Rep. Congressional aide: "Owning the libs and pissing off the media. That's what we believe..."

29. We are no longer one America and haven't been for awhile.

The divide has reached a state where active dislike has turned into active hatred. I can speak for myself only, but prior to Trump I cannot say that I hated Republicans. I thought their policies were backward and stupid, but I did not see them as evil people bent on destroying everything good about this country. That all changed with Trump and the way his supporters leaped at the excuse to be just like him. I despise Trump and everything he stands for. He and his supporters are evil people.

Republicans hate us just as much. It may take a few years, but if this deliberate stoking of hatred and anger continues, I do not see the how the US avoids a civil war or perhaps a negotiated divorce. I moved to Texas for a job years ago. I’m retired now, but if I weren’t, I would no longer even consider moving to a red state for work. We really are two totally different sets of people with beliefs that do not agree.
