Election results don't change what people believe and value.
The current situation in the US has been a long time coming, and it will take a long time to resolve.
- refurb 6y agoYou’re nuts if think it hasn’t always been this way. Hell, a senator beat the shit out of another senator back in the 1850’s. In the senate.
- notabee 6y agoYes, right before a massive civil war broke out that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. I don't think you're making the point that you think you're making.
- refurb 6y agoThat's one example. Politics has always been a nasty business. People who think it's worse now are either ignorant of the past or lack perspective.
- TimTheTinker 6y agoYou may be right about politics alone. But there's a much greater division in the US right now of worldviews, of which politics is only the most visible interface--probably because politics uniquely forces us to choose collectively one way or another.
