Division or unity? It all depends. Are we talking numbers or our opinion of the issue? Leading up to the Revolutionary War, around 30% of the population was still loyal to England. America was united for independence, but terribly divided in opinion of who to serve.
America250 is just one year away, and we are united/divided 70/30 to 80/20 (and more!) on all major issues. The ƵProud to be ƵMericanƵ group is in the majority. But the opinion meter seems to be broken! Look who they want for the next mayor of New York!
So why the division? Lack of understanding of our history and basic civics is at its core, but the disingenuous bias media industry is fueling much of the confusion. Do you listen to what the president says or just what the media says he says with carefully edited quotes? A recent MRC study determined Trump got 92% negative coverage his first 100 days while Biden got 41% from the mainstream media. Think for yourself!
Do you know what’s in the Big Beautiful Bill or just adopt the opinions of the experts on CNN or Whoopi Goldberg. Go to and read it yourself. The cuts to the programs they whine about are fraud, waste and abuse. I’m particularly bothered by the daily “this could happen if it passes” news articles. They belong on the opinion page, not the news section. You’re never going to get perfect. When problems come up, they will be addressed.
Do you want people who broke the law to get here to stay or not? If you do, where do you draw the line? Because if there is no line, there is no border and there is no America. Are there exceptions? Yes. But very few.
Do you know and understand the history of modern Iran since 1979 and why they cannot have the bomb, or do you subscribe to the ƵNo KingsƵ dribble and will be protesting instead of celebrating America this Independence Day?
Seventy percent to 80% of us are of the same basic opinion, I call that unity. Do we have legit problems? Always! And we voted to solve them back in November. Be patient. HeƵs still got three and a half more years.
