Charles is right, the divide-and-conquer factor in American politics is off the charts right now.
Charles Barkley understands U.S. politics better than every pundit on CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.

What they don’t want us to see? That the biggest danger is not where they’re different but where they are far too much of the same: beholden to the same corporate forces that guarantee no structural reform.

The Bushes hate Trump. The Clintons hate Trump. Obama hates Trump. The FBI, CIA and Pentagon H8s Trump. Why do you?

It's clear our top political & intelligence officials are engaged in a disinformation campaign aimed at US citizens in service of fabricating “enemies” to justify their huge budget & racist colonial wars. The bipartisan lack of concern or guilt for the lives lost is astounding.
