I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said\u00a0 “The world is divided into two kinds of people, those who divide the world into two types and those who do not.”<\/p>\n
Oscar always knew how to turn a phrase like a knife in the ribs.<\/p>\n
A lot of pixels and ink has been used to describe the two sides forming in these here United States, so I ask the readers and writers and assorted porch swing pundits over the crackerbarrel here at BDB to chime in and let us know how you see the split going.<\/p>\n
Let me offer my own unworthy variant:<\/p>\n
America is drifting with two tectonic plates that are moving apart. I call one the Deplorable Republic and the other the Coastal Degeneracy.<\/p>\n
The major characteristic of one is the complete focus on trivial and useless crap that when the SHTF means nothing to the survival of the body politic. Statues, microagressions are just the current crop of abstract issues that take on earth shattering importance. In the past we have had busing, affirmative action,\u00a0 racial balance and more. Economies do not grow, schools do not teach, stuff falls apart but all energy is directed to how things look and feel.<\/p>\n
The other one mostly wants to be left alone to live their lives, but worries about crime, jobs, economic growth, and not getting invaded by nasty little tinpot dictators.<\/p>\n
The Deplorable Republic is usually quiet and ignores government, but lately is getting active, and the Coastal Degeneracy is throwing ever more intangible stuff into the battle. White Supremacy, Racism are far more important that jobs and actual prosperity to them.<\/p>\n
Finding interpreters who can translate from Deplorable to Coastal Degenerate\u00a0 may be impossible to avert the coming conflict.<\/p>\n
How do you folks see the two sides?<\/p>\n
