With all of this acrimony between left and right, far worse than any I have seen in my lifetime, it is difficult to see how this USA will ever heal. Those of us on the left will never accept the sort of corporatist government of Trumpism or the tea party vision; obviously, those on the right have rejected the pluralist vision of America. So, where do we go? Increasing political violence with assassination and voter suppression? A break up of the republic into some sort of federation? It is a grim future.

Their is no "acrimony" the leftist lost and now they are being 😭😭😭 👶 b1tches. The fight is over and libbbtwats have been DECIMATED❗️

The leftist platform of disarm and enslave the American Citizen will 💯 guarantee their defeat every single election cycle. This is a lesson the libbbtwats will never learn.

It is a great future. We don't have a government trying to control our lives and libbbtwats are on the road to extinction😎🇺🇸

No acrimony? Like there was no acrimony from your side with the previous President? At least acknowledge reality mate. You may disagree with the left, but don't pretend the US is more fractured than at any point since 1860. It is just a fact. Not even the 1960s saw such divisions. By the way, how do you see "libbbtwat" extinction happening? Concentration camps?

The future will be fine.

Most people don't follow politics this closely.

And ignorance is bliss.

All of the big news is the debates on issues and people getting angry but there are very few actions that actually affect people on the day to day basis.

The travel ban is low impact.

Even potential Russian interference and possible collusion is low impact.

Trump dropping from the Paris Climate accord is only symbolic since companies and states are continuing to abide and car companies are deep into their engineering of low emission vehicles.

But this is stuff for people to get enraged about for the hobby of political talk and the entertainment business that the news has become.

The healthcare law is serious, though because millions are affected over time.

That is where people are more concerned with political points than helping the country.

Trump will sign anything they put in front of him.

Give him a bill for full Healthcare repeal or a complete government single payer plan and he will sign either one for the photo op.

Yeah, this is a good read on things.

I would go so far as to say the future will even be more than fine. I mean, Trump is an idiot and an embarrassment, but our great nation will survive him. In fact, because of the high degree of discord due to Trump, we may see the pendulum swing back the other way once he is out of office. At least just about any president regardless of party will seem like an adult, not the infant we have in office now.

I understand that you believe the future will be "fine". Not sure when you were born, but for someone who came of age in the very early post WWII era, I don't see a bright future for this country. You are probably not old enough to remember when working class people had a middle class lifestyle. Those who claim we have a comparable standard of living now are measuring it in access to disposable goods (gadgets), not in terms of the true markers of healthy living--sick time, vacation time, retirement benefits--the sort of standard that leads to happy family life. Corporate America is closing down the ability for people to rise, and wealth is ever concentrated at the top. So, for those of you who are in a certain demographic--perhaps you feel secure. I am 82 and in the same demographic, but unlike you I actually care about all Americans, and I do not see this nation going in a direction that has aggregated the common interest of everyone, not in economic terms.

If you are actually THE George Hirsch, then it is my honor to talk to you. I also respect your opinion as an elder statesman. I will say though that I do care about all Americans. I agree that there are problems, but I also believe we are at the peak of those problems. Bernie Sanders struck a chord with many Americans, and someone (likely on the left) will take up his mantle in the near future. The Trump experiment will end in a massive failure, and we will turn around and head the other direction.

virtually none of this is true. Or half truths. You have to be more careful with the economic stats being thrown around. Most of them are misleading, usually because they do not take into consideration the aging of the nation, smaller households, how healthcare makes up more of our incomes, how taxes are so progressive, how many wealth transfers there are.

By almost any measure now is a golden age for the average American. I was around in the 1970s - I would not go back to that crappy decade for anything. Anything.

seriously - be more searching with your econ stats. Most of the popular stuff is not representative of the nation as it is.
