Can America come together? Sure. Easy. You only have to decide to come together.
Don’t listen to people on the internet who tell you otherwise!

Elon has a pro business views, sort of Ayn Rand style and in the Republican vein. He is also trying to make X profitable. One way is to promote engagement with inflammatory politics. He may be hoping Trump will now show leadership instead of partisan rhetoric. Although Trump has been testing policies lately.

You have no idea what Trump knew as he stood up and raised his fist. Every single Secret Service agent was wired and could hear what was being communicated at the time. They wouldn’t have let him up at all if bullets were still flying and the snipers had returned fire by the time they let him up. If you want to go with your opinion that he was being defiant of his security detail, then you also have to acknowledge that he was being a complete idiot for standing up in the middle of a gunfight and he has the common sense of a squirrel.

I feel this interviewee is getting Trump’s message wrong. I think that this politician has self-aggrandizing behavior and it’s not a huge moral win. I think Trump pumping his fist in the air feels like he’s cashing in on this incident. I wish we could have 2 different candidates smh.

The left and right at this point are parallel, and mutually hostile civilizations activly seeking to smother out the other. They preside over different regions, have different national mythos, frequent different spaces, subscribe to different philosophies, practice different faiths, venerate different figures as their respective heroes & villains and are populated from different social classes, different ethnic makeups and there’s no reason to think this drift won’t continue because the rifts of opinion are on mutually incompatible beliefs.
Casual reconciliation is *not* possible in these conditions.

I once read Neal Postman’s book “Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business”. It’s from 1985. So almost 40 years old. What he predicted is here now. It’s not about rationality and skills anymore. It’s how you perform in a show. And about people who’d rather choose to consume that show than to think for themselves

Trump was never going to be assassinated. As a PhD social scientist, this presumed assassination is perplexing. It needs scientific study and analysis. The shooter shares the same ideology as Trump; he fits the profile of a white male supremacist, gun lover, and owner, a shooter who loves AR15 deadly machines, and a strong supporter of gun ownership, and Republican ideology. Why would he want to kill Trump? Considering that Project 2025 mirrors Islamic Sharia, perhaps the shooter believed he was headed to heaven and would be rewarded with virgins, or maybe he considered himself a martyr for the Republican cause, which parallels Islamic Sharia in its authoritarianism. These events are highly confusing.
Moreover, Donald was not severely hurt. It is more perplexing to see that QAnon man named Vincent standing there as though he knew well what was happening. What happened there?
This writer suspects this might have been staged, much like Trump has orchestrated several other events. Also, the Secret Service’s reaction was stunning; typically, they would push the president down to the ground, shield him, and then literally carry him away from the scene. But in this case, Trump was standing and using a White Power salute with his fist while screaming, “Fight, fight.” No average person in such a situation would be able to do that. the dead man and the injured persons are collateral damage. This is truly perplexing.

“They are both far too old” . Everyone keeps saying Biden is “too old” it’s not his age that’s a problem . It’s his cognitive function . Many people that are 10 years older than Biden would do a far better job and can out wit people 50 years younger than him.

Unfortunately, America will never come together, simply because liberals and conservatives have different values. Cons want to build a white Christian nation preferably under a dictatorship, whereas libs want individual liberties, democracy, equality under the law and pluralism. How is it possible to unite the country in these conditions?

This guy Ian Bremmer looks just pitiable to me. He sounds quite reasonable and soft unlike the polarized commentators on CNN or Fox News, but essentially he belongs to the same warmongering neocon hypocrite clan you see on CNN or other European news outlets. The only difference is that he is less delusional and knows well there are formidable challenges to American hegemony now and it might not be easy for America to regain its unipolar supremacy, so he cleverly tones down his rhetoric and sounds conciliatory on domestic and global matters, but we can see through the mask where he comes from. The same hypocrisy about threats to democracy, international rule-based order, and all that old drivel. These people are so arrogant, though a bit subtly, that they can not accept for a second that Russia and China have equally valid reason to go for their self-interest just as the US and the Europeans have to go tor theirs. And if they really believe and do so even once, they will not be seen again on the screen and their living will be under threat because they have so far made a career out of serving as the mouthpiece of western hypocrisy, pandering the old drivel to pick scraps thrown to them by warmongers.
