I believe it may partially be due to US citizen’s mass infatuation with social media and news networks that are more opinion pieces looking for high ratings (aka money) than getting out facts and actual news. This all divides us even more.

Let’s try to have a civil conversation here. No need to rant about the left or right. No need for name calling.

Why is there so much hate in the USA? What is causing it?
Its all by design.
I see those on the left and right that are on the internet as well as family and friends, at each others throats. Literally.

But the politicians themselves seem to to have little problem in getting with each other, not only for business but pleasure as well. They go out and eat and party together and screw each other.


There are pictures of Trump and the Clintons eating out together, joking and laughing.
The biggest two nemesis of all.
According to the partisan hacks, they should he clawing each others eyes out.

It tells us it is all BS, and those playing the game are being taken for jackasses.

If you look back to the beginning of European colonization in North America and work your way forward to now you'll discover that USA has always been a warrior nation that needs to have somebody / something to make war against, to conquer, subjugate and control.

From its very inception of colonization the USA nation has been continuously involved in more wars and conspiracies than any other nation in the world. Be it against mother nature and natural resources, other people in or from other countries, friends and closest neighbours, political factions and governments of the land and everywhere else, laws, religions and gods, education, different ideas and ideals, even each against one's own self.

It just is what it is and the nation doesn't know anything different and doesn't know any better and it won't know until the curse is broken.

.
It's this kind of lopsided uneven analysis of the country that is going to be our undoing.

It's happening in real time. I hope those with backbones stand up and pushback.

There have been people throughout American history who believed that rules didn't apply to this. It's nothing new.

They came here to escape the King's rule --- had they thought those rule applied and they should continue, there would not be an America as we know it today, to complain about.

Yes, there have always been bad things which take place in America and everywhere else. I for one believe there have been far more good things which take place. However, when the educational system, the economy, the family unit, the moral compass, the constitution to name a few, begin to come under attack and fall apart as we have witnessed.........that doesn't promote a great country.
Aside from personal responsibility for a great part being shunned by the populace, the role of government is to protect its citizens from oppression, not be the oppressors by supporting mob rule in major cities. Much more could be said, but you get the idea even if you don't agree.

Why don’t you wear a MAGA hat to a left wing protest and see how much “love” left wingers have for people with with opposite political view point?

Make sure to up your premium on life insurance and write your will before you do that.

LOL... Sorry, I’m a centrist and registered Independent. Don’t wear either party’s “hat.” I vote for the person I think will do the best job and safeguard our country and the Constitution, no matter which party. I have voted for candidates of both many times. No interest in the far reaches of either party. Of course that is a lot harder than it used to be. Maybe it’s not completely fair, but I do blame the far Right and the current President for a big part of the current divisiveness and virulent hatred out there.

In fact, I think the whole MAGA thing, including the hats, has caused a lot of the problems between people.
