But when it comes to politics, Americans have been made to hate each other through brainwashing. Meanwhile, the lobbyists and special interests as well as the politicians, they all get along just fine. In Washington, it's like pro-wrestling; they pretend to step in the ring with each other and duke it out, but they all end up at the same bar after work. Americans have been duped but they don't even know it.
I see the cause of the divisiveness differently. When involved in discussions about politics, too often condescension and insults are used. For example, "Group A is too stupid to see the truth." Or, "Groups B is too brainwashed to see what is really going on." You see?
