. I don't even know how to rebuild patriotism in this country.
It will probably help a bit as Trumps support continues to dwindle.
Although this isn't something that is completely Trumps fault. There are people that do in my opinion have a warped view of the world. Culture war propaganda IMO is the worst offender in driving the country apart politically, and training people to view the opposition as enemies rather than just people with a different opinion. And at this point the machine fuels itself seemingly. Maybe with a nudge here or there to make sure certain stories are promoted while others go unnoticed.
To explain what I mean, even before Trump's failure on mass deportations, and ICE shooting those two people. The leftists in the country were already riling people up about border control being enforced, and deportations actually happening. Let's not forget that whole situation with the first woman getting shot happened because they were getting people to drive around finding, and disrupting ICE operations. The protests and the general sentiment towards them was basically the same before the shooting and after, it just handed them the best possible political weapon they could ask for.
But it's not like they suddenly thought the right were fascists last year. This has been an effort for the last 10 years (longer really). To foment division between people in the country. Look at what the radical left has ACTUALLY accomplished. I wouldn't say they've moved the needle in any meaningful way in the direction they want as far as policy goes. But what they have done is at every step cause division. It leads me to believe that is the goal. Its not to effect change from within the system. It's to break the system, and thus bring change. They have no interest in debate over the actual issues and what the correct approach is, they just want to sow division.
That said I think some of them are just dumb enough to believe what they are doing is actually helping somehow.
The only thing I'm not sure of is who really is promoting it at the top, and what their real goals are. It could be the Soros's if the world, which is the commonly accepted answer. But IMO it's just as likely there are other sources of it. CIA? Russia? China? Certain corporate entities that profit from the division? All of them? Idk.
