The Partisan Divide on Issues

[Eric the Green]

The divide today manifests in large measure by attitudes to government. If the blue side or non-partisan officials point out how Trump is dismantling the government agencies that regulate business and commerce, the red side yawns and thinks who needs the government; government is the problem, and only lazy colored people benefit from it. The blue side realizes that government agencies, policies and money are needed to see that people are treated fairly and to get support as and when needed, and so appointing government officials only because they are loyal to Trump, and have no qualifications, does matter, because the agencies they are appointed to do matter. This is also the question whether democracy matters. The red side does not believe in it, and the blue side does.
