“🇺🇸🏴‍☠️ Americans citizens are like the children of two terrible parents that are desperate for a divorce but stay together anyway for the sake of the kids. So instead of having one nice week with mommy, and one nice week with daddy, we stay with them together at the same time, in an increasingly toxic household. All we hear is hate, accusations, and rage. Rage against the other parent. Rage against the other political party. Rage against differing opinions. Rage against the “other”. How could we possibly know how to love each other if our parents have taught us nothing but hate. America needs a good marriage counselor before this “cold” civil war becomes a real one.”
