[QUOTE="Tom 1, post: 76698984, member: 404020"] It’s just reality. Things happened before now. Things that happened before now continue to have effects now and into the future. Without a recognition of those basic facts any discussion is pointless. That’s problem number 1, problem number 2 is just how entrenched the partisan divide in the US is. Those kind of divides exist everywhere, of course, but in the US it can seem as if people were created in separate factories, pre-progammed with a congenital inability to think rationally about ‘the other guy’. That’s where the real blame game is. Notions like everything was great under president X/everything is terrible under president Y represent a failure to understand the bigger picture, that what might be great for one person is bad for another, and so on, on a basic level. Combine that with a tendency to misrepresent facts and figures in favour of whoever the golden boy is, and the aim of having a balanced, reasonable viewpoint with a considered appreciation of the actual facts (not the inflated misrepresentations and meaningless platitudes) becomes impossible.
