Divisiveness is bringing down our country. 

There have always been differences of opinion on every topic, and there always will be, hopefully. We seem to have more splinter groups than ever before, all shouting to be heard, or protesting over something or other. Our Congress is Bought and Sold, and has been for years. Once in office, they could care less about us. Their salaries are far outweighed by their benefits legal and not so legal.

I still encourage people to vote. It's our only weapon left. Too many Americans since 1917 have died for our freedoms not to vote. I am sure the dead would love to vote just once. But for crying out loud, be a term-limit person and vote out all incumbents in place for two or more terms. Diane Feinstein from CA is about 87 and deems herself fit to run again. This is nuts. I am so weary of voters not caring and just voting a straight party ticket, or simply recognizing a name and checking that box.

Our spirialing-down education system isn't helping matters. Our young people enter adulthood totally un-equipped to make good conscious choices. We used to have a three-part, Checks and Balances govt where in each branch kept an eye on the other. No longer true, blatantly so.

The Executive Order power presidents have has morphed from sparing the Thanksgiving Day turkey, to making each president one himself. Thoroughly and totally NOT what the FF had in mind when they set up this Checks and Balances thing. Grown adults can't/won't lean across the aisle and talk with, not to, each other. Meanwhile, our enemies are lapping it all up. 

We don't have to worry about invasion. We're doing just fine destroying ourselves from within.
