Does the "divide and conquer" tactic still work in politics?

Our government has become a conspiracy against the people. The ENTIRE government, not just one party or the other.

Democrats and Republicans are working together to do the bidding of the ultra wealthy power elite, using mass unemployment to force U.S. born workers back into the sweatshops. They are using free trade to send jobs out of the country, and they are using H1B visas and illegal immigrant workers to soak up jobs here in this country, all to create a scarcity of jobs for U.S. born workers.

Democrats and Republicans put on a public display of fighting over things, so they can set us to fighting amongst ourselves. Then while we're occupied with issues like flag burning, abortion, and the debt ceiling, the politicians meet in secret to conspire against us behind our backs.

More and more people are waking up to this reality. So, when some partisan starts finger pointing as if only one side is to blame, are they strenghening their case with their obvious denial of reality?

Do you think "divide and conquer" tactics still work in politics?

I think it works for the extremists of both sides, but for the most part the majority of voters are fairly moderate and not emotional voters.



I also believe the TV pundits represent the extreme. That's why the majority of voters hate either Fox News or the MSM. The only people influenced by the media are the extremes. The moderates are not represented at all.

Divide, rule and conquer is the policy most of the politicians in India adopt. Off late there is a awakening among the masses and realisation of blindly following such politicians. Still its influence is there but it is waning and hope will disappear early.

no human being might want to belittle their race yet they ought to no longer stay in denial both. Black human beings weren't in any respect united as an finished even in the previous contact with white human beings. Its area of human nature to have large difference of opinion and fights no matter if it really is about your relatives/tribe, faith, dermis colour or in spite of. i do not favor to stay by potential of any stereotypes. i do not favor to have police follow me because of stereotypes. i do not favor to have human beings hate me for the colour of the adult men I date. i do not favor to be stereotyped from both area. I do love my fellow black human beings yet i do not favor to experience like i'm absolute to them with an common hatred for yet another team. it quite is likewise what the white those who're racist want, segregation and human beings to be united in concern of others.

So not raising taxes and supporting free trade is not you bag now?

Privatizing Medicare and Social Security isn't your thing now?

Having the government control over a woman's body and stripping our privacy rights aren't your gig now?



You sound like a liberal.

Commie Democrats have been doing it for decades with lots of effect. This is a commie country now. With little time to take it back, legally of course. It is in the Constitution that the commies ignore. We need to remind them of it, anyway needed.
