    I think the identity politics America has played is what has really earned you guys the Trump. It was a dangerous game to play and now the repercussions are becoming known.

    It drove such a solid and distinct line with being totally onboard with that shit or else, that now you are in real danger of getting that or else.

    It was the stupidest game to play. Canada is following suite, as are a lot of other western nations.

        I’m not defending anyone, just observing like I always do. I don’t think anything has created a bigger divide, and division leads to extremes.

        I saw this happening a long time ago and now it’s coming to fruition.

          Oh I agree it’s stupid to argue about. The world would be a better place if Idpol was ignored by both sides.

            Honestly, I thought the world was moving in a very progressive direction, in a healthy manner before social media blew up, then it got out of control trying to change everyone’s attitudes at a sprinting pace. Now we are polarized. Sigh.
