Have we become ungovernable?

"Please don't tell me we need a 'healer' to fix ourselves. We thought electing the first mixed race president would do the trick. A 'bring us together' moment. We were dead wrong."

Last night I listened to a young man who had some ancestral ties to Eisenhower. He talked about how Eisenhower got into politics. To people who knew IKE, whether he became a Republican, or a Democrat was a crap shoot. Why is that? Back in the day, there was very little difference (unlike today) between the two parties. As we know from history, IKE became a Republican and picked Nixon to be his Veep. 

To quote the Bible, the difference today between the two parties is as "far as the east is from the west". It has been a slow yet gradual separation. But right now, the difference between the two parties is absolute. What do they agree on? Very little or anything. In other words, we might have crossed the Rubicon where we have become ungovernable.

Yesterday, I watched a bit of the House proceedings where the fate of Mayorkas (DHS Secretary) was being decided. It was the usual "he said, she said" type of argument in the House chambers. There was zero consensus on any point. It was red vs blue all the time. To the Democrats, Mayorkas is a saint, to the Republicans, Mayorkas is a villain. To the Republicans, Mayorkas is not following our laws, to the Democrats, the issue on the border is the fault of Congress for not giving Biden enough resources. BTW - for Biden's first two years, the Democrats controlled Congress. But who cares about the facts?

What about the election coming up in November? If somehow Biden would win again, many citizens would go nuts. Like really nuts. Many would not abide with the outcome. They have had it with grandpa. By the same token, should Donald Trump win, the Trump haters would also go nuts. They would refuse to be governed by such a hated man.

Even if a third-party person was in the mix, it would be the longest of long shots for that person to win. No, it will be either Trump or Biden. And whomever it is, that person will preside over a totally divided nation. Hate will have replaced brotherly love. Ungovernable will have replaced governable. Our country will continue to be a mess.

If Trump wins and the country's vitals look even better than the first time he was POTUS, the left will not accept him. Why? To the left he is worse than Satan, regardless of how well everybody is doing.

One might wonder if this is true. Like, how divided are we right now? Here is a perfect example. The showdown in Texas. Twenty-five of the state's AGs are siding with Texas. The other twenty-five are siding with Biden. 50-50, once again. No agreement, no consensus. Just spitting over the wall.

Please don't tell me we need a "healer" to fix ourselves. We thought electing the first mixed race president would do the trick. A "bring us together" moment. We were dead wrong.

Obama was the president who lit the first match. And then we had Trump, and then we had Biden, and now we have chaos.
