1/ Our US experiment has 100% been hacked

by cynical "leaders" of political parties + well-intentioned others + foreign enemies fanning 🔥 NOT as nationalists but as populists seeking to destroy nation by dividing us into TRIBES + fueling US to hate EACH OTHER more than 'them'..

2/ At meta level the tribal division is those who

UNITE—or DIVIDE
Mesh—or clash
Band—or disband
Merge—or diverge
Integrate—or segregate

This doesn't mean disavowing disagreement—but rather finding nuance to see + criticize "others" as ERRED protagonists + not EVIL antagonists

3/ Were I foreign enemy set to weaken the US i 'd not attack it kinetically from OUTSIDE, but do it from INSIDE.

Create constant low-simmer civil war, deepen rifts, provoke tribal Us vs Them alliances recasting identity, rewrite history, dissolve MYTH of "United States" so that-

4/...with such cynicism nobody would have cause to believe that any of the 300 million "others" could care LESS about THEM, their kin, welfare, health or education.

Sympathy for total strangers needs
MYTH of belief in a unified nation to transcend tribalism. Destroy the myth...
