George Washington’s greatest fear of political parties was that they would become 2 geographically, as well as ideologically, separated cohorts leading to a civil war. Nixon’s Southern Strategy contributed greatly to that becoming a reality. The “purification” of the GOP culled out the liberal and moderate and the Democratic party’s reaction which effectively did the same by removing their conservative and moderate elements. We now have 2 parties dividing the nation against each other for highly emotional often irrational reasons with a strong feeling that members of the other party are immoral, untrustworthy, and undeserving of respect. The enemies of the indivisible United States could not have executed a better plan for dividing and weakening our once caring nation than our two ruthless — winner-take-all, no matter how — political parties have accomplished. Washington’s greatest fear is being realized. The essential mix of liberal and conservative ideas in BOTH parties that have worked for centuries FOR the people has been stolen by power-seeking, out-of-control political parties that no longer serve the needs of an indivisible nation.
