Divided deliberately by the Republican Party, the right-wing religious extremists, white supremacists, and right-wing media solely to win elections for Republicans.

The division genie is out of the bottle and there’s no way it’s going back in any time soon. We have a Supreme Court running amok, a House soon to be taken over by the Republican circus performers, a Democrat becoming an Independent, and other Democrats stubbornly hanging on to a filibuster rule that means much necessary legislation (especially voting rights and access to abortion) gets tossed in the wastebasket. How the hell do we make address serious issues when half the electorate just wants to fight culture wars and ignore the issues?

when that happens advertisers, universities, and pro sports teams will desert the monopoly until the ad industry is forced to democratize/break it up

almost all of the division is based on republican belief in the alternate reality that rw radio has been selling and reinforcing for 35 years - UNCHALLENGED.

and when AI is use to digitize rw radio in real time and retroactively it can be shown how much lying it's been doing, and exposure of coordination and use by russia will help discredit that alternate reality.

without that advantage the limbaugh/trump/putin GOP is over, so are the manchins and sinemas, and the country goes 10pts left

The division genie is out of the bottle and there’s no way it’s going back in any time soon.

More likely the photographer forgot to include a house in the backdrop. The one he propped up behind one of those free-standing door structures, ca 1940s-1950s, that he borrowed from the local amateur theater group.

That kind of mistake was quite common in postwar ads.

the lack of a space after the comma after "Hindi".

Bastards.

Why go to all the effort of making a meme, and then fucking up the grammar/syntax? I see so many memes that are misspelled. Jesus, people, show some *#&^% pride in your work.
