    Exhibit A says the headed monster is single headed. Think about it.

    I have thought about it. For years. The two headed monster has been dividing us for decades. Trump didn’t divide anyone. He’s a symptom of division that existed already. Obama didn’t divide, he was a symptom of division that existed.

    The DNC and GOP are playing good cop/bad cop with you and you don’t see it. I think the only way to see the truth is to decide you don’t want anything from government. When you get to that point it’s easy to see them playing the sides against one another. When you think you need something from one side or the other you don’t want to see the truth. It’s scary to be independent.

    Government doesn’t care which side you pick as long as you pick a side and support the expansion of government power/control by one side or the other.

    It was clever of authoritarians to figure out how to take power back from the people using the two party system. Very clever, because tribalism and dependency keep the masses from even seeing what’s going on.

    LOL. That was silly.

    I've said countless times, the 2 party system is always doing good cop/bad cop.
    They just change positions depending on who is in charge. I see it. I post it. I concur with it.

    Division is the purpose of the 2 party system.

    I guess your reference to a one headed monster threw me off. Could you explain what you meant by it?

    Thanks for watching the show. I am sure the people featured are not representative of everyone, however, it shows that people of opposing sides of the political isle CAN talk to each other without seeing the other as a personal enemy, and to be treated such. This forum could learn from it.
