Divisa et Imperator (Divide and Conquer).
This addage is in full operation today.
It is sad to see the United States in such a state of divisiveness and polarization. It should be obvious that this divisiveness only serves to keep a clearly broken government in power. I believe the media and the politicians are working overtime to keep it that way. For so long as the population remains divided, it cannot amass the strength to oppose those who are in power.
In his book 1984, George Orwell predicted a situation much like today. The Ministry of Truth (the Media) rewriting history and distorting the facts. Big Brother (the government) watching the citizens every move, etc. I believe that if the current trends continue, Democracy itself will be lost and a revolution will be likely within the next 20 years.
A sad, sad state of affairs!
