You guys are tearing yourselves apart. However i can always learn something new about the USA and one thing that was new info was that people do not care unless its a white cop killing a black person. Can the democrats here please explain this? I wonder why you are ok with resorting to physical violence but have issues with people destroying property? Perhaps you have needs that you think are necessary to resort to violence if pushed, but do not see it as needed when pushed for others because you do not see or share their same needs? Btw i know it is a belated response. I am still trying to settle down in Europe and so i have been very busy.

We're not tearing ourselves apart yet, we're just splitting further apart right now.

Or more like the turning is turning.  The old values are illustrated as not working just before the regeneracy.  Before the old values are rejected during the crisis heart and stomped on during the high, Trump is doing a really good job at showing the old ways are obsolete.  In the process he is doing the country real harm, but in the longer term it only cements the new values harder.

While appalled by the mess he is making, in terms of making sure the new values become operational he is doing great.  The gap in the polls becoming ever wider is just a shadow of the shift in values.  The south hitting home with the happy talk strategy to the virus, fighting the will of the people in ending racist violent policing and taking no action to protect the troops are just the latest.  He consistently takes the wrong side if whatever issue he confronts or more pertinently fails to confront.

The senate Republicans wearing masks and advocating them as one way to save lives is among other things the handwriting on the wall.
