Not sure the old North /South lines are still appropriate.
It seems to be more an East/West alliance vs a mid America

Woops... forgot the emoji... but, you're right again, it is indeed a deeply divided nation and it is virtually impossible to see how the US can heal.
I think I mentioned a few years back on hear when we were discussing something very similar and the divisions in the US came up, that a dear 'celebrity' Yank friend who is on the talk circuit (though not this year) said to me that we all must remember that the US was settled by religious zealots - and that can only end badly.
Seems to me that nations that 'relegate' religion to a more minor influence are the ones that do better.

His Presidency has just exposed and highlighted them.

He hasn't expanded them so much as brought them to the fore.
We don't have it to the same extent here, but those divisions are also simmering along in our own society.
Take away the extremists at both ends of the spectrum....the nutters, and consider our mainstream.
Our left is very vocal, they'll demonstrate and express their views quite openly. They want to change the world.
Our conservatives are probably equal in number but conservatives don't march...and any demonstrations are usually small.
They tend not to engage in argument to the same extent...they don't feel the need because they're quite happy with existing structures. They're quite happy for the world to stay pretty much as it is.

Donald and Melania Trump have tested positive to Covid

Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - LP - 10-02-2020
Am I wrong to be very cynical, about both the announcement and the timing?
Maybe his GoP party associates have found a way to keep Trump's mouth shut and out of the live debates!
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Lods - 10-02-2020
It will be interesting to see how both sides play this.
If the Dem's go too hard it will fire up the Trump folk even more.
Missing two weeks in a campaign is (can be) a huge hurdle.
Pence now comes to the forefront...
A very ill Trump may not be able to continue...and thus never really loses the election.
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 10-02-2020
Self-inflicted. Karma bus hit him and backed over him. He has a whole medical department to look after him but the other 43,000 Americans who caught Covid over the last 24 hours don’t. Just desserts if he pays the ultimate price. I’m sure a lot of people who lost loved ones because of his depravity have had their prayers answered.

What makes you think it would be GoP members? Could be a cunning ruse.....?
Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 10-02-2020
You mean one of his aides, Baldrick, told Trump, “I have a cunning plan ...”?
