Politicians on both sides are joining up with the ignorant mobs of professional whiners who solely exist to complain and argue in hyperbole and bad faith, selfish self righteous people who want nothing more than to burn it all down if they don't get their way. A Politicians job in Government isn't to pander to the mob, it's to cut through the BS rhetoric of the minority extremes and find common ground in the middle as to improve the lives of ALL Americans. We've always had our fringes in society, it's only today Politicians are actively pandering to them and he see's what it's doing to our Country and it scares him.

[@EarthSurferUSA]

@Josh Fog Whether you see it happening or not depends on your life spirit, (basically, are you a leader or a follower), and your personal live experience in the USA. I have seen it happening since the outsourcing of our production to communism over starting over 40 years ago, (1978 to be exact). Then I see the driver of the limo shoot JFK in the head after 2 confused secrete service men were removed from the back of the car a few corners earlier. Then I find out we actually armed communism in china to win their civil war against the nationalists, (I have no idea what the clash of ideology was there, or just a power struggle) to win in china. I also learn that our education has become very dysfunctional, (so you can't make money in the free market, and go work for the state), with math, science and reading below 30th in the world, and I always wondered, as I worked in over 20 machine shops and earning 3 college degrees in manufacturing, (2 of them engineering degrees), why I was still just over poverty until I started my own business. What are your life experiences in the USA?
