I don't doubt the US and their people are facing some serious issues, but this thread illustrates perfectly how easy it is for people to buy into the BS that their team is their team and the other side (whoever they may be) is simply evil. Doesn't help that the same small groups of billionares influencing public policy are also those that influence/own the media.
When you control the message...
"The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses."

It's too bad the US will not see a 3rd party take power. The US could get away from their Bush/Clinton dynasties and Fox news and MSNBC wouldn't have anything to talk about.
