ISIS is sitting back laughing as the USA implodes. They are killing each other with approval from the top. Trump has no doubt divided society over there and the hatred is digging deep and the nutters who support both sides own guns. Surprise surprise the nutters are killing people with those guns.
All OK, we can offer prayers and thoughts for the dead as we do a Jewish special this week. With each circumcision you get an AR15 and 100 Rounds.

Summed up far better than what I have attempted to do Stu.stui magpie wrote:I'm enjoying this thread, good robust debate.
FWIW I don't think Trump has created any culture deliberately. What he has done is tap into a pre existing middle America who felt disenfranchised and ignored by the 2 opposing coastal meccas (NY and So Cal) who run the progressive agenda and, to a degree, enabled them to speak up.
He didn't create their views.
At the same time, the closest thing the USA has to left wingers, haven't left therapy since he was elected and attack him without thought or measure at every turn, both winding up their own supporters and pissing off their opponents.
Basically, the US is more polarised than pretty much any time since the civil war
I think the divide started under Obama in earnest but could also attributed to Bush and Clinton and your right Trump tapped into it.
Middle American std of living has gone backwards for nearly 20 years

More Americans have died of the flu since Trump was made president than in decades. However, since I believe that correlation does not imply causation I will assume it's not Trump's fault (unless evidence is provided to the contrary).Again I draw your attention to the IUS Anti Defamation League and their research. In 2017 anti semtitic incidents have increased by 57% since the election Trump was made president.

An opinion.
https://edition.cnn.com/2018/10/29/poli ... index.htmlWashington (CNN)A top official at an influential coalition of Jewish Republicans on Monday defended President Donald Trump's response to the mass killing at a Pittsburgh synagogue, arguing those who say Trump's harsh rhetoric has stoked national divisions are trying to "score partisan political attacks."
"There are too many people who are using this tragedy for partisan gain," Matt Brooks, who runs the Republican Jewish Coalition, told CNN.
He called Trump's condemnation of anti-Semitism in the wake of Saturday's shooting "very powerful and very strong" and said he has encouraged White House officials to stay the course in the days ahead.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Nope, I saw Trump sneeze once. Sarah Huckabee Sanders did also at a presser - Have Trump, his admin and cronies contribute to enable an increase in flu deaths ?: absolutely. The only argument here is to what extent?

Agree - the problem is by who's definition does a political view become divisive, hateful, rhetoric ?Pies4shaw wrote:There is an obvious difference between expressing a political view, on the one hand and peddling deliberately divisive, hateful rhetoric on the other.
Currently its the left who have this as their talking points attacking Trump, his Admin and republicans. Ironically they do it through divisive, hateful rhetoric.

war, politics, footy, life, its all the same, a power game, look at the atrocities of world war 1 and 2, so much finger pointing, im guessing the countries we point fingers at have a reason to point back.
