Exactly, John, which is precisely what you are doing! You're accusing anyone capable of seeing what's going on here, which is not some wishy-washy "both sides" bs, and calling them "partisan." That's a grand hypocrisy and the very accusation you claim to oppose.

I strongly suggest you actually read the sources provided and do more than simply dismiss them with a bland, "opinion," "partisan," "media bias!" or just skim the headline. That is a classic Trump tactic, to label anything unflattering to him as "fake news."

You say you're a moderate who hates the division, and I applaud you for that. People will need to come together before long. But it's clear you don't know you're basic facts and you're mistaking your ignorance for "that didn't happen."

Case in point: you admitted you had no idea what Trump did in Syria, Afghanistan, and with North Korea. I applaud you for that too, but that makes your comments on his foreign policy effectively meaningless. His foreign policy, like his domestic policy, was an unmitigated disaster. Besides, you're wrong, he started a civil war in America, pitting himself and his loyalists against everyone else.

You can't have unity by blaming everyone when one side is actively conspiring to deprive people of color of their votes, vilifying immigrants, criminalizing abortion, and making it legal for a president to break the law. You seriously need to open your eyes and realize this problem won't be healed by blaming those who speak out, or conflating people objecting to injustices (which you deny) with people demanding blood and revenge.
