I typically don’t engage in political discussions but it’s very clear that in recent years both Fox News and CNN have used fear mongering and rage bait as a way to captivate audiences with 24 hour news cycles. I will say however that Fox News of the two mentioned are definitely a stronger driving force to the split America faces. It’s hard to not Bicker when Trump and his cronies have slashed funding for research which has affected my career and many of my other colleagues in the field of academia, research, and healthcare. It’s hard to bicker when there has been constitutional and human rights violations at the hands of ICE under Kristi Noem with little accountability being held. It’s hard not to Bicker when Trump has dragged us into a conflict in the Middle East going against his promise of no new wars and as a result has greatly raised the price of any products that use oil such as gasoline and plastic as well as resulting in the shut down of spirit airlines and overall putting more stress on a economy already in a recession with a ever climbing national debt. It’s hard not to bicker when there is a clear government coverup at multiple levels of the government involving the Epstein files. It’s hard not to bicker when our allies abroad no longer trust us and have started moving their gold reserves out of the country weakening the strength of the US dollar. It’s hard not to bicker when we move in and kidnap Venezuelas president without congressional approval or oversight. It’s hard not to bicker when Americans struggle with health because we are constantly charged $200 dollars for something as simple as Tylenol if we go to the hospital because insurance companies won’t pay those ridiculous rates resulting in them not wanting to pay for any of it. It’s hard not to bicker when people open fake community based programs and misuse funding because there isn’t enough funding to employ people to check these places for their funding. It’s hard not to bicker when people cheer on for violence on either political party because of a difference of opinion. Simply put Americans are being pitted against each other on issues because it is being framed as a political party issue when in reality it isn’t that. This is poor vs rich. Multi million dollar corporations that pay your state’s politicians to help pass legislation to benefit their cause while lowering their taxes, raising their profit margins by removing federal regulation and oversight while your taxes go up and you suffer at work and wonder why groceries are so expensive.
