I don't watch hockey, but I was delighted to wake up this morning and see that Team Canada beat Team USA. I will never pull for the USA in anything while Trump is president, and I can justify that because what is currently happening in our country is not American. As far as I'm concerned, we've been
overtaken by the enemy and are now a different country entirely. And since our citizens voted for it, I don't feel the least bit bad about rejecting it.

I get what you're saying but I pretty strongly disagree. We're still stronger as a union than as a divided nation. As bad as we are trending, I can honestly say that the 50s through the 80s were definitely worse. History indicates the same about the time of the robber barons.

I'm more concerned that both sides are being played by forces who would like to end our system of government. I don't think either side wants that although, imo, one side has been seriously manipulated to support those who want that.

I lived through the 60s, 70s and 80s and I can say without a doubt they we were more United, as a country, than we are today. The only time in our history where we were this divided was the 1850s.

"We" were more united because all the minorities of any type were ignored and 80-90% of the country considered themselves Christian. Imo, that's the wrong way to be united.
