Divided we fall...

It doesn't take a stable genius to figure that out.

And we are becoming more and more divided with each passing day. It is important that we understand what is happening to us as a people.

We are being divided by an autocratic leader with a cult following. He has no morals or character. He is a person that is transactional in the moment, depending on what is best for him personally or politically. His followers, and there are many, are deeply flawed individuals that are malleable to his racist and xenophobic taunts.

We must remain united in this struggle for the soul of America.

preserve and protect, not just from outsiders, but from greed and corruption within.

Our ancestors who came here from shitholes knew this, but most Americans have forgotten.

It serves their purpose to create conflict, division and hatred.
It is the only way they can win elections.
