"Trump didn't bring division. Division brought Trump."

In the Ace of Spades blog, Oregon Muse tackles the subject of divisiveness.

"One of the slurs constantly being thrown at Trump by the left and their catchfarts in the media is that he's 'divisive.' This is such a stupid word. I mean, yes, he's 'divisive' in the sense that a sizeable portion of Americans voted for him and a slightly larger portion voted against him, but why is that his fault? It's not as if his campaign was all 'I want a vote from you, but you, yes you over there, your vote I don't want.' Trump never did that.

Also, Trump wasn't the candidate who called many Americans 'deplorable'. Trump wasn't the candidate who called many Americans 'bitter clingers'. Now, it's that sort of language that's divisive. Funny how the incurious mainstream media never calls out such rhetoric as 'divisive' when it comes from Democrats. They never tell their audiences that divisiveness is foundational to how progressives advance their agenda. They never tell their audiences that what progressives like to do is seize upon whatever grievances that may exist, rub them raw and pick at them until they're all bleeding, infected, and inflamed. Progressives foment divisiveness, they don't alleviate it.

And make no mistake, Obama's minions were very adept at this, so much so that by the time he left office, they had managed to turn America into an open wound. So Trump didn't cause division, it was already there when he got here. In fact, I think it's just the opposite: Trump didn't bring division. Division brought Trump."
