Political Polarization is a Fraud:
Republicans are Masters of Deceit and Chaos, #3
Copyright 2025, John Manimas Medeiros
The Two-Party fraud are both engaged in vigorously proclaiming that the sad state of American civilization is that we are "polarized." We are divided into two camps, one conservative, the other liberal, one righty, the other lefty, one Republican, the other Democratic. This performance is false, blatant manipulation, deliberate deception and chaos to distract the people from the truth. Allegations and arguments fly around like a swarm of locusts. We disagree on the economy; we disagree on climate change; we disagree on energy; we disagree on taxation; we disagree on tariffs;, we disagree on international conflict and warfare; we disagree on women's rights; we disagree on health care and health insurance; we disagree on sexuality; and we disagree on our membership in international treaties. Both or all sides are proclaiming (September 2025) that our problem is that we each shout out our opinions but we do not listen to "the other side." We constantly hear statements that there are "good people on both sides." This is all politically corrupt leadership fogging the arena of genuine political dispute with purposeful blame on the people. Like children and infants, it is said: "If only we loved one another." Or "If only we could discuss our differences calmly and respectfully." This is blatant deception, manipulation of the public, nonsense. The Republican party is a party of neo-confederates and a contrived nobility of rich authoritarians who would prefer that America burn to the ground rather than permit working people to exercise any political power.
The truth is that there is only one significant issue that must be settled before all others can begin to be discussed. That single question is "Shall we be a racially and ethnically stratified society where every person's economic role is assigned by race, ethnicity, and or religion?" OR: "Shall we be a society that treats all people equal before the law, every individual assigned their economic role according to competence, desire and commitment?" The problem with this dispute and conflict is not "polarization" or unwillingness to "see the other side." The real problem is that one viewpoint, that we should be a racist society socially and economically stratified is an idea totally devoid of merit. There is no evidence of any kind that such a racist society is better in any way, not better scientifically, not better morally, not better philosophically, not better religiously, not better socially, not better biologically, not better politically and in terms of international relations. Racism is wrong; equality for all is right. And that truth is precisely why the neo-Confederate Republican Party is acting totally crazy and appealing to the emotional fears of ordinary citizens. Telling them they will lose their jobs if we use science to stop damaging the environment; they will lose their jobs if we permit immigrants to come to the United States; they will lose their jobs and social status if we are liberal, or if we have universal health care, or if we let women decide if and when to have children. What the Republican Party, the neo-Confederates and Fascists are doing is the rapid fire of provocations and threats of violence (Second Amendment remedies) in order to get power and hold on to power so that the entire nation believes the great deception that there is an overwhelming list of detailed disagreements between "the right" and "the left." All this is contrived to begin with by the American atrocity of the "two-party system." Of course there will always appear to be two sides in conflict, because the anti-democratic American nobility do not want a real political process or a democratic debate among the diverse groups in a society of 340 million people.
So here is the real deal. It is true that there can be no compromise, no calm discussion about what kind of a society we shall be, because a free society and a racist society are mutually exclusive. It is impossible for these two opposite goals to coexist. That is why we have the American Civil War. Is it over, or always with us? To contend that racism and freedom can exist in the same society is irrational nonsense.
Therefore, if the recommendation of the two-party liars is that we have a calm discussion, then these are the necessary ground rules. There is really only one condition, one difference that must be settled before all others; there is one "polarization" that must be resolved before we can move on to discuss the economy, taxation, women's rights, sexuality issues, environmental protection, health care, types of energy production, transportation. All of the issues are irrelevant so long as we disagree about racism versus equality. There is only one sound, realistic and effective way to move away from "polarization" to the work of resolving all other political and economic issues. The righties, Republicans, neo-Confederates must sign a binding contract that there shall be no political opposition to equality for all. There shall be no legal obstacles to hinder a social or economic group from deliberate planned integration by race, religion or ethnic heritage. There shall be no economic assignments by race, or by religion, or by ethnic heritage. If the Republicans and their supporters cannot do this, then the people need to be prepared for continuation of the American Civil War, enormously destructive violence, and the probability that the United States of America will dissolve. A democratic society in the center of North America will be unlikely for a very long time. The U.S.A. will have few if any friends anywhere. We will become the most tragic of all "failed nations." The citizens of other nations will not look to us for advice, help, or anything of value. If we do not confirm our serious commitment to equality for all by December 2026, we will lose every form of the American dream. We will become a political, social and economic bag of dust. We can survive and thrive, but only if we commit to reasonable choice. Choice is the essence of freedom. Since colonial times continuing to the present, Americans have lived by choice in ethnic neighborhoods, towns, regions.
All over America one can find a "Little Italy," or a "China Town," as well as neighborhoods where Jews are the majority, or African Americans are the majority, or a Polish neighborhood centered around a "Polish (Catholic) Church." Maryland is deemed to be a state colonized by Roman Catholics, Pennsylvania by Dutch and Amish immigrants. It is widely recognized that the north central states include a population of descendants from Scandinavians and Lutherans. Various regions, including the Appalachians were colonized by Scots. And of course there are Latino communities mostly in the Southwest. American citizens have always been able to reside in a community where most neighbors shared a common ethnic background. There is no reason to change that because choice is the essence of freedom. What does need to be changed is the cruel and hateful insistence that deliberate integration of a group of citizens, who choose integration, is violently blocked by a selfish racist minority of the American population. There must be no legal obstacles to the choice of integration. We have gated communities and private communities. We have ethnic neighborhoods. We celebrate traditions inherited from other countries. Neither Halloween, nor Christmas nor Easter were born or invented in North America. They came with the invaders who claimed that North America was empty land. The same freedom enjoyed by those Americans who choose racial and or religious segregation must be granted to those who want their children to grow up aware of the differences that make humanity interesting, creative, diverse. The complaints and noise about racial "quotas" or affirmative action being a form of racism is total nonsense. Any plan to create and maintain an integrated group or community should always be available to the people because the opposite – segregated and exclusive groups and communities – have always been a choice available to all. Reason and a serious commitment to equal rights for all require that all legal obstacles to the choice of integration be removed. If we do not seriously commit to that choice being real and defended by our governments at every level, then the United States of America is a fraud, a sick, self-deceived nation of confederate losers.
