we have people actively sowing discord in our polity.
What you've got there is a couple of grifters whose incomes rely on keeping people as angry as possible "working the room".
It ain't that big a room.
It's awful.
Black Lives Matter is being actively portrayed as a horrible, violent movement whose proponents are dangerous and should die, in the exact same way MLK was portrayed.
And look what happened to him.
And people aren't differentiating between bad actors and anti-racists. We're all bad, according to certain politicians. Also all communist. 🙄 I've seen and heard this BS before.
Did I ever tell you about my John Birch Society neighbor? Yeah. Same stuff, different decade.
@janallmac Yeesh, no, I don't think I know that story. I can't imagine having to deal w/someone like that.

Oh, I was just a tiny girl, watching and listening. No one noticed me.
But yeah, that family was a piece of work, and one of my life's goals is to not be at all like them.
And my memories of them are a child's memories.

There's a reason why no one with two working wits they can rub together pays any attention to either Andy Ngo or Tim Pool.
