Julian Edelman pointed out the people are not their governments and I agree. More often than not we are at the mercy of decisions our government makes by people who have no idea who they're representing (they're out of touch), they're not (as) affected by their decisions, and they have agendas. Trump policies may have been good for the country but his mouth and twitter account were not. Yes, he was putting truth out there the MSM would have not reported, but the guy needed to tone it down. A LOT. Now we have an administration whose mouthpiece is obviously suffering from old age issues and can't seem to function and the policies, only some advantageous for select people groups, are on the whole extremely bad for the country overall. Either way it's divisive to the nth degree with big tech and MSM stirring the pot.

I'm sure there are Palestinians who want nothing more than to just live their lives and let everyone live theirs and they're the ones who are suffering in this thanks to Hamas.

I'm not well versed in the whole Palestinian/Israeli thing so if anyone has a relatively unbiased source to read about it I'm down for reading it. This is something I've never really quite understood, their conflict.
