Internal and external forces are driving a wedge between the citizenry. We are most certainly on the path to a bloody civil war. We are already at war with each other, just no bloodshed..................yet. I hope that we, collectively, come to our senses and I'm seeing some evidence that we are. At the same time I see evidence that there is a lunatic fringe that are not going to accept that reality without resorting to violence.
The bolded bit is really the sad part. It's even a bit distressing. Yet so many people seem to have a need to gaslight up their narrative, to create the ad hominem tale of events or assumptions of what someone else thinks, things made up from whole cloth when simple evidence is there that says simply . . . that they have another way of seeing what you're looking at. It's annoying when it happens, but it's also sad and indicative of the wedge, the need to demonize the opposition, or just the person or group who(m) we intend to blame.
My favorite part of the narrative is, whatever a person is accused of is likely very present in and motivating to the accuser. "You spot it, you got it." That kind of thing points out the lack of knowledge of self in the accuser. It seems to be based in fear of the unknown or of change. Whatever the cause, there needs to be a villain, and they need to be absolved of all responsibility. It's their fault!!!
So, yeah, it's lunacy. It's also like this guy:
