I think the biggest thing impacting this country right now is the overall lack of respect.....from anyone. I'm not a fan of all of AOC's antics, but...really?
Yep...stupid as hell. I'm glad she doesn't represent my district...she's batshit crazy.

I'm actually surprised no right-wing lunatic has tried to take her out yet.
I'm genuinely curious about what you consider "antics" or "batshit crazy".

Actually, by almost any measure, Abraham Lincoln was quite possibly the most divisive person to ever serve the office of the presidency.

We all seem to have difficulty noticing the faults and divisiveness of those with whom we agree while being more than willing to accept from them absolute nonsense as fact. Obama's divisiveness planted the seeds that gave us Trump. I hate to imagine what comes from the seeds being planted by Trump.
Actually, the President that prevented the division of the nation is not by any sane measure a divisive President. He took the ultimate step to prevent division. He set the stage for the US to emerge as the greatest nation the world had ever seen.

We don't We all have difficulty noticing the faults and divisiveness of those with whom we agree while being more than willing to accept from them absolute nonsense as fact. You do. Your both sides bull shit is fine in a world that is absent of truth. The whole function of abstract reasoning and critical analysis is to separate fact from fiction. You are unprepared for citizenship. The notion that Obama was divisive is non compos mentis.

Obama's divisiveness planted the seeds that gave us Trump.

I distinctly remember it leaking out that Moscow Mitch had a meeting with other Republicans immediately after Obama won his first term, with their stated goal to make Obama a one term President. Remember that? I sure as Hell do. The seeds of division were sown that day and it was Republicans who cast them into the wind. Democrats hated the fact that Obama never seemed to learn that every single time he extended an olive branch to Republicans, they would saw it off. He tried again and again, only t end up with a pile of twigs and leaves. So fuck you and fuck your bullshit about Obama sowing division, Republicans started that fire. The only divisiveness there is here is that he is black and the Republican party racists melted down when he won in 2008. In 2012 conservatives doubled down on division when he won a second term.

Nixon started the fire of division, Reagan poured gas on it and Trump has fanned the flames of division to blast furnace level. Again, Fuck You.

I remember asking conservatives during the Obama administration what it was they thought made him divisive. The only consistent answer I ever received to that was that Obama once said that Trevon Martin could have been his son.
And it took me a long time to understand why they took that statement as divisive. Then it occurred to me. Identity politics. White conservatives believed it was acceptable for Zimmerman to stalk Martin to his own home and kill him because they identified with Zimmerman and not with Martin, because Zimmerman was perceived as white and Martin as black.
So when Obama said Martin could have been his son, he reinforced the white conservative belief that the black President was not one of them. Thus, divisive.
Ahh, if only he'd just called them losers and a mob and traitors and led chants to lock them up and send them back.

I guess by that token Abraham Lincoln would have to be defined as divisive. If the reasons are so vastly different, why claim the same category.

Sorry, but I categorically reject the notion that Obama was divisive. We have a sub population of people in this country who are fundamentally unAmerican intent on dividing the nation, a population the Russians are training like monkeys to destroy this nation. The Republican Party has become a national security threat.


From the conservative perspective, Obama was being divisive by being inclusive.

I only meant divisive in the sense that there's a massive number of racist people in our country, regardless of their claims. He's incredibly American, but apparently so are racists.

And yeah, Lincoln was divisive, but it was for the betterment of the country that he was a leader. I think the same applies to Obama.

Obama was the moment when the rest of the planet looked towards the US and said, damn those yankees are really turning things around, there is hope for them, for us, yet!
...
...
Then you fucking elect Trump. Wtf.

Actually, the President that prevented the division of the nation is not by any sane measure a divisive President. He took the ultimate step to prevent division. He set the stage for the US to emerge as the greatest nation the world had ever seen.

Today, almost all of us would list President Lincoln as, at least, one of the top 5 greatest presidents in the history of this country if not the greatest. When he was alive, however, that was not the case at all.

Lincoln was first elected with about 39% of the popular vote meaning he was opposed by more than 60% of the voters. Many thought he won a rigged election due to the fact that in several states he wasn't even on the ballot and got no votes at all. His election led to the worst division this country has seen to date with the secession of the southern states and the start of Civil War.

For the next election, Lincoln didn't even secure his own party nomination and had to form a new party called the National Union party. In this election, only the northern and western states, where Lincoln was very popular, were allowed to vote. Still, he only secured just over half of the popular vote.

Yes, I believe Lincoln was the most divisive president to date. I also believe the country was at a point where this division was necessary to bring about the changes and unity that followed, though it's my opinion that his assassination did more to unify the country than most of the things he said or did. Unfortunately, the divisions also deprived the country of the greatness that could have been if Lincoln had actually had the support of the country.

Although we all saw it through the different lenses of our own life experiences, we all lived through the same 8 years. If you failed to see any divisiveness when it was happening, nothing I can say will make you see it now. I'll let it suffice to say that those in control have us exactly where they want us. The division works for them. As long as we are supporting our teams and fighting against each other we'll never fight for each other. If we were to ever fight together, for each other, who knows?

Per CNN the picture was of some students that were Moscow Mitch supporters. They were not campaign workers.

That's stupid way to look at is because you're ignoring that was in a 4 way race where he had over 10% more votes than the 2nd closest (and absolutely steamrolled all 3 in the electoral college). Many people thought black people weren't human beings or equal to white people and a whole bunch of other stupid things, so "some people thought" means nothing. The funny part is that sounds a hell of a lot like the South tried to rig the election against him. That wasn't his fault. The South literally started the Civil War and were the ones instigating the violence the whole way up until the North had no choice but to go to war. Laying the blame for that on Lincoln is absurd.

Yeah, that's because War Democrats joined with Republicans and formed the National Union Party as a symbol of unity. There was zero chance Lincoln wasn't going to be the Republican candidate (some Republicans initially threw a fit and nominated Fremont, but he later withdrew and then supported Lincoln). WTF if you're gonna spout history know your fucking shit and stop trying to deliberately mislead people. Its not because OMG even the Republicans didn't like Lincoln, it was an attempt at unifying more voters (many of which wouldn't vote Republican out of principle; sounds like something that the Democrats should try this next election frankly).

That's stupid logic. He wasn't divisive, he just happened to be President during the most divisive period in the Country's history. Being divisive and just being there when things are divisive is not the same thing.

I don't, his assassination was likely why the country didn't actually heal after the war as it put things in limbo on how the country would unify.

That's not what anyone said. They said that Obama was not the one pushing that divisiveness, which is a very different thing. Your logic here is astoundingly stupid. Just like with Lincoln, Obama was not the divisive one, he just was President during a divisive time because the actual divisive assholes were so enraged by him that they resorted to what could be called outright treason to try and further divide the country. If you can't see that then you need some new goddamned lenses.

What eventually happens to America solely depends on the people from within.
And as for the people from within, that depends on their ability to be fooled, manipulated, and controlled.
If the people lack the desire then America will lack the desire.
If the people want hate and bigotry and racism, then America will become hate, bigoted, and racist.
America has become terminally divided. Two sides with a great gap in between.
Which side overcomes is yet to be seen, but one thing is for sure.....
One side will prevail, and the other side destroyed.
There can never be the merging of the two divisions, only one side can prevail and one side ceasing to exist.

How about you grow the hell up and accept that joking about murdering politicians isn't acceptable regardless of political affiliation?
