The headline alone tells me this is bad-faith drivel, either meant to inflame tensions or to pander to the unrealistic “leftists” who think we’ll have our glorious revolution aaaannnyyy day now.
The country is not “divorcing” we are nowhere close to a “civil war” and there will be a tomorrow. And a day after. And a day after that.
We can start pushing the pendulum back the other direction on the momentum of whatever the latest scandal is, we can have grass-roots campaigns for people who represent us, we can be more social and more active, we can plant gardens and donate to food banks and attend city council meetings. The whole thing goes on.
Do not trust or even believe headlines that inflame tensions or make things worse. We can work harder to make sure nobody is getting abandoned. We had huge setbacks but over the long arc of history, we are still making progress.
