An Intent to Divide in America

One could go crazy trying to figure it all out.

When two sides of the same story are so radically different, is a third party involved? Pixabay

I sometimes wonder who is behind sabotaging the American people. On the surface, after living there for more than a decade, I found them friendly, helpful, and keen to do the right thing. Reading social media is an exercise in schizophrenia.

Let me demonstrate.

What the left says about the right

Trump is Hitler. America will lose its democracy if Trump becomes president. Trump is intent on becoming a tyrant and a king. He is friends with Putin, and because he is friends with Putin, he is Russia’s puppet. He is stupid, can’t read, is a narcissist, a rapist, a felon, an evil man, and more. All the people who are Trumpists (those who voted for him) are Nazis — just like him.

If you don’t want transwomen in women’s sports, then you are transphobic, and that is a very bad thing to be. If you disagree with DEI, then you’re a racist. If you think Elon Musk is doing the right thing, you’re an evil, hateful thing. He is a thief, a liar, a Nazi, and more.

If you, in any way, like some of what Trump is doing, then you are removing civil rights from the American people, and if you object to illegal aliens coming into America, then you’re — a racist, a Nazi, and more of that.
