Why The MSM Wants Us Divided

I recently read a story on Breitbart News about the lie the MSM tells us America is, as opposed to the reality of what America is. In other words, what the MSM tells us about our country is far from the truth.
 
The story on Breitbart is titled: “Houston Proves Everything the MSM Says About Our ‘Divided’ Country Is a Lie”. The author begins by saying that “even before Hurricane Harvey waylaid southeast Texas, the idea was to write a piece, to offer some perspective on the difference between our corrupt media’s relentless portrayal of a hopelessly divided America, and a little something known as Reality.”
 
Watching the news, you’ll often find yourself watching an America that is seemingly heavily divided in politics and racial issues. That every single person you see on the street is thinking about Trump, the Confederate statues, racial issues, Antifa or the KKK. In reality, that’s not what always happens.
 
Sure, people will discuss these things with one another on occasion. When meeting up with friends that share your same opinion in politics, you tend to find yourself more openly talking and discussing these political topics. Whether you’re for Trump or against him, in favor of protecting the Confederate statues or in favor of taking them down, you find yourself happily conversing with your buddies about it. And even if you DON’T share the same opinions as them, you can still have a polite and simple discussion of differing opinions and then end the day with getting a smoothie or going to happy hour and continue to hang out.
 
But, as the Breitbart story tells: “(through the MSM), we are always portrayed as being at each other’s throats. And not just along political lines,… but along toxified racial, gender, age, region, and lifestyle lines.”
 
“Basically, the media fabricates the following: that old men (i.e. Trump supporters) are desperate to hold on to their privilege at the expense of brown, black, gay, female, and young Americans. And for this reason, every black, gay, female, and young American must vote Democrat.”
 
The MSM is in love with identity politics. Identity politics is the idea that, because someone is physically different from someone else, they can be exploited for those differences. They love to remind black people of the dark days of slavery (which Democrats FOUGHT AND KILLED to KEEP), love to tell Hispanics that Trump doesn’t like them because they’re Hispanic (which is an utter lie, this coming from a Hispanic Trump supporter), and love to tell gay people that Christians don’t like them… oh wait, it’s no longer gay people that the Left cares about. It’s now TRANSGENDERS that the Left focuses on. Gay people are a thing of the past. They don’t matter as much anymore to the Left. Now, the big debate is of transgender people, so the Left exploits THEM.
 
Going further, the Left LOVES to pretend the issues women had in the early 20th century are still prevalent issues today. And they LOVE to play Santa Claus for the lazy Millennial generation that feels entitled to everything and think that they (really, we, since I’m a Millennial) shouldn’t have to work to earn anything and just want free stuff.
 
The Left LOVES to divide people into categories. They don’t see past skin color and they place a label on people based on what they look like. That’s how shallow they are. To them, if you’re black, you must automatically be a Democrat. If you’re Hispanic, you must automatically hate Trump. If you’re a woman, you must automatically have voted for Hillary, since she’s a woman too. If you’re a Millennial, you must be lazy and hope someone will always be there to take care of you and you don’t have to do anything other than obey the person that is giving you free stuff, AKA the government.
 
They love to do this because this is the only way they can win. I’ve said it in previous articles, but the Left can only win by lying, cheating and stealing. That they can only win by spreading lies about their opponent and telling positive lies about themselves. That includes lying to black people that they are still victims and it’s the Republicans’ fault (even though the Democrats are the cause to all of their problems beginning with slavery and up to them living below the poverty line due to policies that hurt them). They lie to women, saying that Trump is sexist and that the Left has women’s best interests at heart because women want abortions and free contraceptives.
 
In reality, the Left MOCKS women who want to be women and have a husband and a family. To the Left, those women are “weak” and an “embarrassment” to their gender. They HATE women who want to be women and HATE men who want to be men.
 
And lastly, they lie to Millennials, promising them free stuff, when in reality, NOTHING is truly free.
 
Take a look at Obamacare. You are FORCED to pay for someone else’s insurance, while you yourself get “free” insurance. How is it free if you have to PAY for SOMEONE ELSE to have insurance too? And that person also has to pay for someone else’s insurance. You still have to pay, and you pay for sub-par insurance? And you don’t have any other choice?
 
You know what that’s like? Cable plans. Personally, I’m not a fan of cable for the same reason I’m not a fan of Obamacare. In order to get something you want, you have to pay for a bunch of other things you DON’T want. Now, at least there’s options when it comes to cable, unlike with Obamacare. Since cable is not a necessity, you can choose not to have it. You can choose the best plan, or simply choose not to pay for it and simply have internet.
 
A lot of Millennials understand this concept. So why can’t they see the same with Obamacare? Because the Left constantly lies to them about it.
 
That’s the key: DECEPTION. Deception is how they keep us divided, but why do they want us divided, to answer the title question? It’s a simple warfare strategy: divide and conquer.
 
The Left divides people because division often can lead to chaos. And the Left THRIVES with chaos. Watching Antifa beating people up, destroying structures and statues and creating chaos, the Left SAVORS it. They salivate watching unruly people fighting like this for THEIR cause.
 
Why do they want us divided? Because if we’re united, they don’t stand a chance. We united behind Trump against Hillary, and look at the results. The Left creates problems that they blame on us and our ideologies.
 
They claim the country is divided. Well, if the country is divided, it was divided WELL before Trump. But as it is, this country is not as divided as the MSM says it is. They say we’re getting tired of Trump. But we’re just as much in support of him today as during the campaign trail. They tell us we’re divided, but reality is far from that. Harvey has shown us that when our neighbor needs a hand, we’re more than willing to lend one.
 
The America they want is one that is divided. The America we live in is one that is united AGAINST the Left. Don’t believe me? Look back at the last couple of elections that the Left made seem so important and tell me who won. Hint: it wasn’t the Leftist.
