Divide & Conquer

Lol the most divisive ever?


More so than Bush and Lincoln

Clearly trump has divided this country in ways we haven't seen in a very long time.

He was much more divisive than Bush. Neither of us where alive when Lincoln was President. Trump has been President for 10 months, stop it.
 
When did Obama say the police were racists?

He routinely complained that the overall criminal justice system was racist. He even talked about it at the funeral for the Police Officers in Dallas. Honestly, where have you been, bro?

EDIT: And I like how you ignored everything else.

Do you have one example? One quote?

I didn't ignore everything, but if we can't get to what Obama exactly said that would get to the heart of the disagreement.

One guy was invoked with the civil war for Petes sake. I'd say that one is hard to top
 
It's not divided at all. There is the ruling class, and the peasants.
 
Anyone else notice how divided the US is at the moment? I live outside of the US but I pay attention and sometimes you get a clearer view looking in from the outside instead of being lost in all the sh*t out there.

I keep seeing the right attacking the left and the left attacking the right. Its mainly the right from what I can see. In almost every politically video or site there's someone commenting "liberal scum" or "leftists" etc. Like when Eminem put up that freestyle dissing Trump. A load of "fake YouTube accounts" started calling him a liberal sellout and Zionist puppet. Why cant he just dislike Trump? Do you have to be a liberal to dislike Trump in America or something?

This is just a conspiracy so don't take it too seriously but what if say an enemy of the US decided to hire thousands of English speakers to create a load of accounts on a variety of social media sites as a divide and conquer tactic? Now days comment sections seem to be more influential than actual videos especially after the "fake news" phenom. And its mainly fake accounts on YouTube that talk the most shit. Either way the US seems to be really divided at the moment and a country could take advantage of that.

i started a thread about this. the russian GRU is literally making facebook accounts and pretending to be americans. stoking the flames.

but our own media cannot be absolved from how much it helps create division. telling people what they want to hear, even if what they want to hear is that the other side are all evil space aliens.
 
We can all thank Obama for leading the charge to create division in this country!

pfft.

even if you hate obama's policies...we should all be able to agree that he was a pretty even tempered reasonable guy. its F'ing Fox, CNN, Breitbart, and MSNBC that divided the country. those are the ones who told you Obama was never going to give General motors back as a part of a socialist takeover, and you believed them. jade helm etc etc

Nooooooo. Bush beat everyone by a long shot. He was so bad that even his own party eventually ended up hating him and set the stage for the right to desperately grab at straws just so they can say "worse than Bush." Any Democrat following Bush was going to be the worst president in history no matter who it was. This was decided before the person was even elected.

The internet seems to have killed any shred of discourse this country has had. Its given a very loud voice to every wack job and extremist put there and sadly these are the types who scream the loudest. Absolutely zero room for nuance.
 
It's mindblowing that anyone could be offended by that, but my guess is most people only know it through the lenses of right-wing propaganda.
I do remember that speech and after reading it agin I can’t find a trace of something that could even be perceived as offensive to anyone. He went above and beyond to compliment cops.
 
You're absolutely projecting. You can't see the difference in Obama's attitude in his two terms while telling others they live in a bubble.

First term Obama and early second term Obama were much different than late second term Obama. You have The first US General killed in action since Vietnam, one of only a handful to be killed in action since the Civil War killed 4 days prior to the Michael Brown shooting (an incident that has since been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be justified) and which one do you suppose Obama sends White House Staffers to, to convey the sympathies of the United States? The man who spent his life serving and died during that service, or the criminal who was killed after assaulting a Police Officer? Obama did little things like this CONSTANTLY throughout his first term and the first half of his second term that could only be seen as intentionally meant to insult what is seen as "Traditional America". Are Black Lives Matter Protesters openly advocating for the murder of Police in the streets? Yes, they are. What was the President's reaction to that? To condemn it? Nope. To try to explain why the Police were racist and those feelings were justified. Only when people actually did start murdering Police Officers did he finally take a more hard, firm stance on that position. After the Dallas and Baton Rouge Shootings, you're right, he did come out and openly speak firmly and strongly against what was going on. I thought it was one of his finest, if not successful, moments as President. But to pretend that the atmosphere that led to people taking to the streets to murder Police Officers wasn't in large part created by the percieved attitude of the President and his administration is nothing short of utterly naive.

@Jack V Savage @kpt018 you dudes must have missed this part. P.S., Jack, this is where you smugly pretend that you can't see what I've written or that it's actually somehow my fault that you don't read...

All I did was ask you for the speech or parts of the speech that were so offensive. You're not telling us and Jack posted the one he thought you were referring to. If you have an example let us know but there is zero in that speech to be angry about and it looks like you thought it was very good.

The US government is designed to be divided.

Did you miss the part where Eminem contributed the divisiveness by telling all his fans who supported Trump to fuck off? Eminem literally gave them the middle finger, and you are saying they are the ones to blame when they fire back at him?

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's actually alleged to have been what's happening. Russia, allegedly, bought ads on social media sites to target areas of divisiveness in the U.S. and amplify the conflict.

Wouldn't surprise me if this was true but of course many people will get defensive and say its fake news but with all the news coming out about Russia meddling with the election and Trumps connection to Russia doesn't it at least seem a little suspicious to the people claiming its false or are they so stuck in their beliefs that they're not willing to be open minded and question everything.
