Couldn't address my truthful points, could you? If you'd stop listening to CNN and the rest of the left wing media you might learn the truth.

I have to laugh at these pro-abortionists. It's mostly the liberal left that are pro-abortion and out of the other sides of their mouths they claim we need immigrants because our population is shrinking and we need more people to work and boost our economy. Yeah, let's kill off American babies and import immigrants to replace them.

There was no need to decades ago as Americans united themselves naturally. There were some political and social differences but for the most part we were civil to one another and accepted those differences without the name calling and hatred that we are seeing today. Our country has gone too far radical left to be able to repeat the unity of the past.

The better question is: has any President ever called his opposition’s supporters/voters as fascists and made them his enemy?

It is clear that the polarization of American society has intensified.

I absolutely agree he has failed. And I think this latest speech completed contradicted this call for unity.

I believe that he could have addressed some of the concerns without talking about anti-MAGA. Republicans identify as 'MAGA' to some degree. Sure some are more extreme than others. But most definitely it was a divisive attack and might be okay with Independents and the Democrat base but will do little to sway Republican voters.

Back in 2020 many Democrats felt Biden didn't attack enough -- now he is. I don't care for it but it seems to be the political climate in the USA right now.

And each side blames the other side with all kinds of feelings to back up their feelings.

It has, and just wait to see what happens if Trump wins in 2024.

Reagan. He won 49 states in the 1984 election.

There was no such thing as Red States or Blue States. In fact, Red and Blue were only recently assigned to political parties. In the 2000 Election, George W. Bush was assigned the color blue.

Identity politics is tearing the country apart.

43% of Americans think a civil war is at least somewhat likely within 10 years.

66% of Americans think the country has gotten more divided since Biden has been in office.

63% of Americans think the country will be more divided in the next few years.

Defend the Constitution and the Founders beliefs in a small Federal government. We haven't had a President do that in my lifetime.
