I am extremely angry about what is happening in this country.
Our politicians, media, and others keep harping about polarization and how we
are a divided nation incapable of moving our country forward. The biggest
victims of this propaganda (and, yes, brainwashing) include the “forgotten
majority” of Americans whose views are too often overlooked, hidden, or
maligned. How much longer are we going to stand for being left behind on the
sidelines, estranged from the country we love?
Yes, there will always be differences of opinion, but that is
not the point. There is something we can feel really feel good about. There is
a vibrant majority of Americans out there with a clear vision for a better
future, in spite of a self-preoccupied president who is far behind the times
and fearful members of Congress beholden to special interests rather than the
welfare of their constituents.
So stop falling for the ludicrous idea we are a divided nation.
Instead, ask yourself who benefits from the notion we are an inept country treading
water? Among others, it is members of our political establishment who benefit,
large corporate interests, other nations anxious for America to fail, and too
often a media that thrives on argument and conflict night after night to keep
viewers and readers interested.
