Political extremes discussion: I'm sick of hearing how polarized we are

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

A brief, opinionated discussion of the subject. Because the recent SC hearings bruhaha have so many pundits chanting that "we're more polarized than we've ever been!!"

No, we fucking aren't. I've been hearing that for four DECADES.

I do. And I think business owners should be able to make their own decisions about who they serve.

several political leaders were shot in 1968.

we had a F'ing civil war.

some of our founders had a duel to the death.

so no....not the MOST polarized we've ever been.

People are very ill informed. Race riots, national guardsman shooting college students, the president was assissinated, his brother, mlk, Lenin. Bombings, protests of millions in the streets.

Read a book people.
