The country is divided because the narrative has made it so. There was never division until politicians and their PR engines decided to divide us... to conquer us. Government has become too large and our news media has gone under the control of said gov. For crying out loud, even China has a large presence/narrative control of Reddit and from a userbase perspective, Ghislaine Maxwell [1] has been controlling the narrative on Reddit for years [2]. Obama, it’s a joke if you think we can all simply be aligned. It doesn’t work like that. We all have different lives and issues we are facing. We all have different needs. If you want government to be more functional, scale has to be decreased. The USA is simply too big and diverse to meet the needs of all with one stone. Finally, painting one man, Trump, the way you are is simply wrong. One man can’t destroy a nation - and if one can - then this nation was never meant to survive. Luckily, he can’t and this nation will prosper long past your book publishing. Enjoy your pizza and dogs. The citizens of the USA will win no matter what you do to try to stop/hamper it.

  Ghislaine is a prolific redditor and has a million karma points or something. I think the OP was referring to that.

  [1] Critical posts of China like Tiananmen Square are censored on Reddit. There are many others. [2] The most influential account and moderator on Reddit, maxwellhill, has been inactive since the moment Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s friend, was detained. Interestingly, the username coincides with Ghislaines life. Coincidentally, Ghislaine Maxwell was raised in a news family who controlled most of the media you and I have read for decades. Someone who controls the narrative in mainstream would understand the importance of Reddit.

    Some of this may be valid, but you don't have to go very far to disprove your first point. A picture critical of Chinese investment in Reddit is in the Top 10 posts of all time on one of the biggest subreddits, r/pics [1] [1]https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/aohpmo/given_that_reddit_just_took_a_150_million https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/aohpmo/given_that_red...

>Enjoy your pizza and dogs. The citizens of the USA will win no matter what you do to try to stop/hamper it. And you're claiming citizens have no significant role in creating the division?

  The two party system creates it. Cogs of the machine have a role but if they are good cogs they will automatically fall into these roles.

    Correct. Two parties each with their own extreme points, so the middle ground is never reached. The all or nothing nature has cast the system into limbo for decades, unable to decide even the simplest of things. There are simply too many complex issues for a two party system to be effective addressing them. In countries with more competition and political spectrum, it's easier to find the sensible middle grounds. When opportunists rise, they usually don't remain too long and the sensible part of their agendas get co-opted by other parties.
