Make no mistake, it is two countries. . .just like the politicians want it to be.
If you are a conservative your leaders feed you crap in hopes that you will believe that anyone who is not white is a leech who lives off the system and anyone who is a democrat is a bleeding heart liberal who wants to turn the country into communist Russia while taking all of their hard earned money and handing it over to welfare moms. Meanwhile those evil liberals will be impregnating your 15 year old daughter for the sole purpose of forcing her to get an abortion.
If you are a liberal your leaders feed you crap in hopes that you will believe that everyone who lives in the country and is a conservative is a backwoods, redneck, cousin fucking idiot who walks around town with a bible in one hand and a shotgun in the other and who want nothing more than to force you to go to church and live by their ideals or otherwise be burned at the stake.
While these are extreme examples, I feel it is pretty accurate. Look at how many people hate Obama so much that they actually think he is a Muslim who was not born in this country and that there is a conspiracy to hide his birth certificate so he can stay president. On the other end of the spectrum look how many people hated Bush so badly that they think the was behind the 9/11 attacks.
And many politicians love this. They don't stop it, they want it to continue because it makes them money. They call these people, the people I described above, their base. These are people who will vote republican or democrat no matter what the person says or who is running. It keeps them getting elected and bilking us for their own good. The sad thing is that it won't be changing any time soon. Only about half of the people who are eligible to vote do so. If half the country can't be bothered to vote once every couple of years things aren't going to change much. And that is what the system wants. They talk of change. They say they want change. But they never really act on it because doing so might anger their base and cost them an election and getting elected in the number 1 thing on their agenda.
Sorry for the rant.
