Freidman is correct when he says America is in the midst of what could be called a Civil War. I would say large scale treason is a more accurate description than Civil War but there is definitely a struggle going on.
Almost everything else in the article is wrong.
Freidman says tribalism is the problem. This is simply a stupid comment. Tribalism is an almost meaningless term that is used dishonestly by the left to attack anyone who disagrees with them in any way. The left is supposedly forward thinking and enlightened. Those who disagree are supposedly backward and “tribal.”
Freidman says “We can’t find common ground on which to respectfully disagree; the other side is “the enemy.” We shout at each other on television, unfollow each other on Facebook and fire verbal mortars at each other on Twitter — and now everyone is on the digital battlefield, not just politicians.”
Who is this “we” that Freidman is supposedly talking about. I don’t know any conservatives who act that way. Freidman is simply lying. He is making it up.
Next Freidman delivers a total lie.
“Brett Kavanaugh defended himself the other day with the kind of nasty partisan attacks and ugly conspiracy theories that you’d expect only from a talk radio host — never from a would-be justice of the Supreme Court. Who can expect fairness from him now?”
Brett Kavanaugh was falsely accused of being a rapist and a gang rapist. Freidman pretends that those who lied and made false accusations are virtuous.
Next Freidman says, “in the early 2000s, most high-wage, middle-skilled jobs disappeared”
This is another lie. Jobs don’t just disappear. All kinds of American jobs from engineers to programmers to skilled trades to unskilled were deliberately and purposefully moved overseas. Businesses were shut down and forced to close.
Freidman’s next lie is “a generation of leaders has come along, led by Donald Trump, who have made fueling our divisions their business model”
This could not be further from the truth. President Trump is working to help the American people not divide them. It is the left that wants to create divisiveness and violence.
Freidman is simply a paid liar. He is a disinformation agent for the Democrat Party. He has nothing useful or worthwhile to say.
Nice post in number 30!
In a nutshell, he wrote an average MSM analysis.
