The FocusLBK Show S3E121: Political Parties are Made to Play Us

Does it ever feel like all this negativity is contrived? How is it they always catch inflammatory stuff on camera and throw it on all the airwaves out there so you can’t help but see it? Yet, they never catch on camera and amplify the stuff we wish they would catch!I think political parties are used by the so-called ruling class use to generate friction so they can herd people into competing “factions”. They use this friction to help pit against one another in ways politicians can use to fuel their particular ideas or interests.Maybe that’s why the Founding Fathers, especially Washington and Jefferson, hated political parties. They knew that eventually their constant back and forth jostling would lead to civil war, or “disunion” as Washington called it.I’d say that’s probably not a good idea. Maybe it’s time to start the year off with a Fast from political parties?Sources and Methods:https://www.history.com/articles/founding-fathers-political-parties-opinionhttps://rotunda.upress.virginia.edu/founders/default.xqy?keys=FOEA-print-04-02-02-4451Focus LBK is a reader-supported publication.
