Why are we a divided Nation?

Because they are NOT liberals? The Left historically stood for the working classes and poor. They've moved on from such embarrassing peoples, and now stand firmly for white elitists, education snobbery, coast dwellers, celebrities, and bratty Swedish teenagers.

 

BS, sorry. The Left has zero interest in elevating the lowest strata. I'm stunned people still buy that.

 

Do you see any areas of reconciliation in either position?

 

R&D engineers are as rare as hens teeth. The vast majority of engineers are not in such fancy roles. And a significant proportion are not white, and not liberal. You are working with a teeny tiny sample, in elite fields, in elite locations. Not realistic at ALL.

 

Actually, a degree in Gender Studies (or similar nonsense) tells us you're stupider than most. Unless you're very very rich, that's never going to pay the bills. Ergo, you're an idiot. A kid who, at age 16, recognises that he'll need to pay for stuff for a lifetime so chooses a high demand trade instead - is in every meaningful sense - far smarter.

 

Are you on drugs? I'm not being rude, but this reads as quite delusional.

 

you said that out loud. read it back to yourself.

 

Please don't tell me what I think.
If I thought that I would have said it.

 

Why are we a divided nation? check the demographics.

 

Do you know where the gender studies majors end up? In the HR departments of major corporations. Let that sink in for a while.

 

Yep, It's a beautiful thing those wide open spaces.

 

That's worse than sleeping on a sidewalk?

 

It is when your waiting for those coal jobs to come back and your out of pills.

 

Oh.

 

Notice anything interesting?

States with highest poverty levels.

 

You mean the ones who can actually torque that nonsense into a real job?

 

Yes, interesting standards aren't they.

 

That you're not answering my question.

 

You mean about camping out in California and freezing your butt off in West Virginia?
Maybe a toss up?

 

Which is pretty much all of them. HR people with gender studies knowledge can easily save companies millions of dollars and are in high demand

 

How do you think most Americans feel about Trump?

 

Its your side thats exhibiting the snobbery by running down the blue collar class

But we agree that the gosl of the liberal media, academia, and the democrat party is to defeat trump voters and put them on the lower rung of society once and for all

That started under obama who went attacked average Americans by calling them bitter climgers

And Hillary in 2016 who attacked trump voters as deplorables

So I fully understand the threat that liberals pose to the rest of America that does not share your ideology

 

Gender studies graduates are some of the best employees Starbucks has

 

You seem to think college graduates are better than everyone else

But if you want to amend that just say so

 

Politics is about winning at all costs. Our two parties realize that promulgating tribalism increases campaign contributions. US vs THEM is the current state of discourse. Never compromise on anything that can be used every two years as a wedge issue. No need to pass legislation when execrating the opposition fires up the base. Listening and finding middle ground have become an anathema in Washington...
