How much division can our nation withstand?

It is a most serious question.

The question is not meant to provoke or promote division, but rather to define and understand it.

Can the divisions reach such a scale that the Union can no longer stay together?

If we could someday look back at these times, would we say that it was the beginnings of the Second Great Revolution?

Is that he doesn’t even give lip service to being President of the United States - just President of his fans. The rest of us can just drop dead. I think Joe has to make a huge point that he will be President of EVERYONE and help everyone have a better life - even those that didn’t vote for him.
