It must be recognized that conservatives represented by the GOP have been very successful in accomplishing their agenda. They have done so by turning those being most negatively impacted by their agenda against each other. It is widely recognized that we are a divided Red/Blue nation. But if I listen to MEGA Republicans profess their cultish faith in Trump, I see people who look just like me--their yard signs indicate neighbors. They have bought into the cultural warfare message that has been put out to hide the true conservative agenda which is to make themselves wealthier at the expense of the rest of us, Like any skilled pick pocket or magician, they have managed to focus our attention on a distraction while picking our pockets or pulling a coin out of our ear, and then taking a bow as we exclaim “How did you do that!”

Today’s Hartmann Report explains explains what was happening while our attention was diverted to Race, Religion, Gender, and other cultural issues. Remember Lincoln “A country divided against itself, cannot stand.”

Slavery may have been his dividing issue. Today’s issues are Legion.
