I've been following the news in America from London with a mix of dismay and horror at the increasing racist rhetoric and continuing mass shootings. My question is, does it feel like there's been a sea change over the past month or so, or more business as usual?
BTW. If you want to see a nation that looks like a slow-motion car crash, check out the news from in the UK.
It is just business as usual, but business as usual is very chaotic, and violent. The divide in the country continues to grow wider and more impassable every day. The hatred of the left, which is usually not reported, manifests itself more and more as the election time draws near.
The efforts to take away our guns is always there, but with events like what just occurred they really get fanatical. The people who want to take away our guns due to mass shootings are the same who want to open the borders to all. Talk about mass killings and rapes.
The change is the intensity with which each side will have to respond. There will be no change in the divide. There will be no holding hands and singing the national anthem, though many will ask for it and try to make it happen. The divide is too great. There is nothing to unify on. Unity based only on unity, is idiocy. It has to be based on something. And that something in the U.S. departed long ago.
Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
