I do have an issue with spin in supposed hard news outlets and the biggest problem I have with the media today, they never report the entire story, they only ever report the bits that push their narrative forward.

We were divided starting in 2007 and it got worse through 2016, now it's unfixable.
The difference between Conservatives/Independents and the left is that Conservatives and Independents have their own beliefs and if you don't follow suit, it's ok. The left, however, will force their ideas down your throat and demean your character, try to ruin you, and attack you if you don't fall in with those ideals.
Basically, Conservatives/Independents are more like "do what you wanna do, just leave me out of it"
and the left is like "do as we say or we'll ruin you."

You might be right. But if you watch the media and the government, the leftists want you to conform to their ideas or ruin your life. The right and middle just want to live and let live.
Look what they're doing to Trump. For 3 years they've tried to nail him because he doesn't run this country the way they want him to, and they still haven't been able to find something to nail him on. It's one thing to disagree, but it's whole different ballgame when you use violence and intimidation when someone doesn't conform to your ideas.

If you don't like the people living in this country you can always leave.

I'd hang out with you and could definitely go all day without talking politics.

I think... as a people... we need to stop expecting things about the establishment, and we need to begin building our own society.

Unless, of course, you want to marry someone you love.
Or smoke weed.
Or be a Muslim.
Or want affordable healthcare.
Or background checks.
Or want corporations to pay their fair share.
Other than that, your right.
