Quoted from pinballOsp:Much more than Corona, I am really struggling with the division in the US. And that was BEFORE the last few days.
I really thought a virus would be one thing that could not be politicized... and that it might help us all get on the same page. And then that it might help see who we've got in charge.
But the same side of the population is refusing science, data, facts and logic. I know that's exactly what I should be expecting by now but it's hard to come to terms with it. It hurts all of us.
While I have met many good people here this has worked only as long as politics stayed out of the equation. And now that this government has made everything political it has made certain interactions unbearable and others impossible. Some people say it's just two sides of the same coin. I don't think that is true any more, unless you consider "sane" and "insane" being 2 opposing sides.
I do feel grief that this is where we are. It just seems like such a waste of all that's good here.
It's all about the Media; they control everything...Once you realize that, you realize that there the majority of people in our country are very good people, with good intentions...You need to get out and talk to real people more; less chat boards and less cable news.
