Two Americas

The latest revelations regarding our *president are reflected in a disturbing dichotomy of belief between democrats and independents on one hand and trumpist republicans on the other.  In the face of guilty pleas by Michael Cohen and the conviction of Paul Manafort on numerous corruption charges, progressives are hair on fire and warning of a looming constitutional crisis.  On the other hand, republicans like Orrin Hatch and Lindsay Graham who voted to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about an affair with a White House intern say they are embarrassed by the latest revelation of criminal intent by tRump, but so what.   We are increasingly becoming separate tribes in this nation.  I seriously wonder what will have to happen to unite us.
