Anger, and acting out of anger, are decisions, aren't they? No one is being forced to attack the other side, no one is being forced to refuse to communicate.This latest incident violent incident in Charlottesville is once again illustrating how our divisions are increasing, and how the "sides" of the "fence" are becoming more clear.
On one side of the fence, we have the people who appear to think they're "accomplishing" something by screaming at, verbally attacking, insulting, blaming, and now, finally, physically attacking and even KILLING those who dare to disagree with them. Attack, attack, attack, no matter what.
Their political affiliations are irrelevant, because their behaviors are so similar. They would much rather scream than communicate. They would much rather attack than heal. They would much rather "beat" those who dare to disagree than find a way to co-exist with them like normal, well-adjusted adults.
On the other side of the fence is the majority of the country, those who know that the only way to solve problems is to communicate and cooperate. That you're not always going to get your way. That sometimes you have to be a little humble, check your ego, and respect differing opinions. And that -- horror of horrors -- you may actually be wrong about something now and then.
So, which side of the fence are you on?

But these people probably feel as though they discuss things till their blue in the face and no one gives a damn.
It seems to me that the spark to this rally was the destruction of a war memorial for General Lee. I think they felt like their history was being erased, because the government is trying to erase their white race and all history associated with them and they feel powerless to stop it.
Then on the other side of the coin you have BLM whose lives had gotten even worse under Obama. To top things off, the DNC e-mails revealed that the DNC views BLM as more of a terrorist group and have no intentions of helping them whatsoever.
So here we have two really pissed off groups without representation in government. They can talk all they want but no one gives a damn about any of them. Instead, they will all just wind up on some secret terrorist list that Homeland Security will keep track of and be labeled enemies of the state.
These are decisions we're making, and we can't blame anyone else for those decisions.

The problem is that your second group is the one that is the loudest and therefore attracts the most attention and influence.I am a strong proponent of discussion and agreeing to disagree. Coming to a compromise is difficult, even with level headed people that are firmly entrenched in their beliefs.
When it reaches this level, unfortunately, a fight to the death can be the deciding factor. It happens often in nature. Obviously, we view ourselves as above all other animals, so, we should know better... but sometimes nature takes over. The ID lives.Coming to a compromise is difficult, even with level headed people that are firmly entrenched in their beliefs.
I don't agree with that assertion. Without exception, every temperate and prudent person with whom I've interacted -- personally and professionally -- recognizes that their position need not be one of "all or nothing;" thus they strive sincerely for genuinely win-win solutions. Every rube I've encounters, all of whom are indolently pusillanimous SOBs, on the other hand, dastardly conceive and construe everything binarily.
Still a moron..... how deplorable Trump and his supporters are.

Here's what really worries me: This in anecdotal only, but as part of my profession I speak at a fairly in-depth level with a lot of people I haven't met before. And it just seems like more and more often, some switch goes off, and they go off on a very binary, partisan tangent. They use words and phrases that you'd hear on conservative talk radio or left wing website.
And look at what is happening in popular culture: There is now nowhere to go to escape partisan politics. for a moment or two.
I could be wrong on that, but it just seems to me that this behavior is beginning to infect a larger percentage of our population.

I don't think our increasing divisions are coming from the politicians - they're just puppets who are chasing campaign contributions.The problem is that your second group is the one that is the loudest and therefore attracts the most attention and influence.I am a strong proponent of discussion and agreeing to disagree.

And the more intrusive government becomes in our lives the worse this will get.
This is because the life blood of politicians is division. After all, would you send your support and money to certain politicians if you thought they would all treat us the same? No, you are sending your money to those who will benefit you. You are betting the house that your vote or campaign money will benefit the group you want represented.
ahhh, I can see you still believe in the boogeyman! How old are you?What HE said!I'm on the side that involves cracking open heads on both sides and putting all these perps away with substantial sentences.
All the talk of love and cooperation and "coming together as one" oozing out of our politicians is just shit. No one is listening.
Media are fueling this crap by the all-day constant attention paid to them.
Outlaw these people - all of them - and get them out of the way by whatever means are legally available. If none are available, make them so.
Or become Venezuela. It's your choice.
I would just add that everyone knows that Obama, Hillary, and Soros are behind these "Protests/Riots". They deserve some old fashioned justice too.
I'm on the side that loves watching these tools pummel each other. Fuck McGregor/Mayweather. We need more of these retards being plowed into by vehicles.

This will put it all in perspective for you. This was David Duke's response to Trumps lukewarm condemnation of today's events....
