How does this end? [View all]

Most leaders, from both political parties, at least paid lip service to binding the nation's wounds. Trump pours salt in them. I don't see how this division can end any way other than poorly.

We lasted this long because a scab formed over our differences. Trump and his acolytes have pulled the scab off.

The Founding Fathers were wise men, but far from perfect. Their hypocrisy on slavery attests to that. However they would be appalled that a man of such low character and intellects sits in the White House.
