The election of Donald Trump with the help of Russia, has exposed a great rift in our country. This is the most divided we have been since the Civil War, and the similarities are quite obvious when you look at the demographics and the rhetoric that is being thrown around.

Just like in the years that lead up to America’s Civil War, we have conservative states fighting against liberal states on issues like economics, labor and racial equality. 150 years later, conservatives are still trying to suppress the black vote and disenfranchise the poorest people of all races.

The angry white minority of our country elected a petulant and unstable, narcissistic alleged billionaire because they thought it would stave off their loss of power. They believed that he would make America great again, even though our experiment in democracy had finally decided it was time to vote twice for our first non-white president in Barack Obama.

We are now facing a crisis that could tear America apart. On one side, we have both conservative and liberal sane people trying to carry on with the process of governing. On the other side, we have political nihilists who would prefer to turn the world’s superpower relinquish democracy and the rule of international law to a former KGB operative in Vladimir Putin who is little more than a dictator with a raging Napoleon complex.







Vladimir Putin and the former KGB appears to have groomed Donald Trump for decades. They propped up an insecure billionaire who wasn’t accepted by the New York elite because of his family’s history of discrimination. He didn’t create his real estate empire from scratch, it was inherited.

Trump embarked on a campaign against President Obama, who stood up to Russia, by questioning his birth certificate. When Obama roasted Trump at the White House dinner on this issue, The Donald was visibly angered.

I believe that was the moment Russia sprung into action. This was their opportunity to splinter NATO and undermine our democracy, and Trump was the useful idiot that they needed. Whether or not the Trump campaign knowingly colluded with Russia doesn’t matter, they still played him like a fiddle, with or without his consent.

Opposition to Russia isn’t a conservative or liberal issue, it is an American priority. Putin has no qualms about pitting the far-left with stooges like Jill Stein, and puppets like Donald Trump, against the rule of law in Washington to further his mission to undermine Western democracy.

If nothing is done, America will cease to be a world influence. We will become serf state of Russia with the approval of Trump supporters. That cannot be allowed to happen. Conservatives and liberals alike have to join together to preserve our democracy because the alternative is a terrifying dystopia we cannot live in.

“We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

-In the Continental Congress just before signing the Declaration of Independence, 1776. Benjamin Franklin
