Once upon a time, there was no such thing as a "red" state or a "blue" state. Every state was a swing state until the 90s, when both parties began ratcheting up the mudslinging and campaigning on polarizing wedge issues. The results are as you see them today--political discourse is angry and bitter, no one listens anymore, and Americans are so divided they can't come together on any issue of substance. We're being screwed over by basically every institution with money and power around us: the government, corporate America, the media, Big Pharma, and more. Our Constitutional rights are being systematically eroded. And most people don't care, as long as they're full and entertained. I'm not going to pretend I know the future, but if things continue as they have been, tyranny is certainly a possibility. And history will wonder why the hell we were more obsessed with zombie apocalypses and cat memes when we had all this knowledge at our fingertips, yet ignored it.

It seems like so many of the nation's issues can be traced back to either Ronald Reagan or Franklin D. Roosevelt.
