[QUOTE="CeeCee72, post: 428869, member: 5055"] Yes. Social media and biased cable news is a huge part of the problem. Last night several friends came over for a cookout and to watch Thursday Night Football. I am very liberal, friends are very conservative. Eventually, the Kirk killing came up. We all just kinda shrugged and shook our heads. Someone said that all of that is just background noise. Those of us in the working class all have the same problems - regardless of our political leanings. We're worried about paying our mortgages and feeding our families and paying for healthcare. The powers that be have no interest in stopping the division and the violence. They THRIVE on it. Maybe it's pollyanna of me, but perhaps WE can stop it one little cookout at a time by talking to each other and realizing we're really not all that different. [/QUOTE]
