people of late decry how divided this country has become. but, no… this country has always been divided between those of good faith and good conscience who would treat others with fairness and equity, and those of bad faith and no conscience, who see themselves as above others and in-groups as above out-groups, and who have no interest in a fair and free democracy.
the only difference, as of late, is that the latter group no longer pretends to be part of the former group.
