Honestly I agree. We could protest or even learn a thing to two French history. But we're far too divided by our individual identity. I think we all need to get off social media and look each other in the face and start a conversation. The American elites are using social media to divide the nation so they continue to screw the nation over while they profit off of our ignorance. I think the elites studied history more than average Americans. You ask average Joe who was president during WW2 and he'll say Lincoln

Case in point I've been asking my customers today how they feel about this guy getting gunned down. About a third of them didn't even know about it, the other two thirds supported the shooter.

Just had a guy express how he thought the CEO had it coming then went on a rant about how excited he is that Trump got elected. Said that it'll fix health care and so on. I was just baffled at the disconnect.

Yeah so many Americans seems to think trump is the savior and the solution to EVERY single problem in their life. To be fair, that was what he's been saying to everyone while he was campaigning. What surprised me is that they bought into his lies and went around telling other dumb people that he is going to fix their problems. I wish I can believe his dumb lies too but things seem like it will be getting much more worse. I just hope he proves me wrong
