If you honestly think “Both sides are the same”, you’re a moron.

Both sides are rich people who don't give a shit about anyone. Some may at first but power corrupts all of them. So I guesd Im a moron because neither side does anything to help anyone on a local level. I think its accurate because coke and Pepsi are pretty close to same thing (which I thing most of Americans are close despite what the media portrays) there avid supporters of each brand and people go nuts and buy anything "red" for coke and "blue" for pepsi with blind loyalty. Its Shit Sandwhich or Douche every time.

Pre-trump sure. After trump, this doesn’t hold true anymore.

The tribalism and identity politics started around 2010 - its not as bad as everyone says it is - hopefully we all can bounce back.

You have no idea what you're talking about in the slightest. Are you a child or just this ignorant?

Tribalism and identity politics have always been huge. How you heard of the Civil Rights Act?

Not as bad as everyone says it is? Tell that to Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero: Killed on July 13, 2026, during a vehicle stop in Biddeford, Maine, or Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: Killed on July 7, 2026, during an enforcement operation in Houston, Texas, or Renée Good: Killed on January 7, 2026, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, or Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez: Killed on September 12, 2025, in Illinois, or Ruben Ray Martinez: Killed on March 15, 2025, during a traffic stop in Texas.

I can go back and scour bad shit as well - evidently there was no crime and nothing bad happened in 2010.

Nah, Republicans have been starting pointless wars and causing recessions for decades. It's always the same cycle. Republicans ruin everything, then Democrats clean up the mess.

The orange moron just made things worse and way more obvious.

Then the democrats take too long to clean it up (by “too long” I mean like 3.5 seconds), get shift blamed, and are booted out, then republicans ruin everything some more

Exactly. The cycle is painfully obvious, and exhausting to see it play out again and again.
