America is divided and that's good


America is super divided and that is a good thing. Division is the source of our strength. From day one, our country has been deeply divided ideologically, politically, socially, and economically. We are a free country without forced group think by totalitarian monarchs or dictators. Freedom brings dissent. Free people think freely and different, which brings disagreement. That is not a bad thing. It's the source of innovation and what makes us strong. No pain, no gain. Debating ideas and allowing diversity of thought is what makes us strong. It's what allow us to be the leader of the free world.

America serves as the world's platform for the debate of ideas and ideologies. From the painful tug of war comes the light that guides us into leading the rest of the world. 

There is nothing to new to America's division. When you zoom in our history, you always find deep division and strong dissent. Unlike other countries dominated by monarchs or by dictators, America is the land of the free and people are free to disagree. Free people disagree. Ideas go to battle, and the best ideas win. 

Other countries make the mistake of opting for the comfort of conformity of thought and force their people to agree. That feels good, but does not lead to progress or innovation. It leads to stagnation.  In other countries, people make the mistake of surrendering their individual liberties to the government. They elect an alpha male that promises to bring consensus by persecuting and oppressing dissidence. That is when you see political incarcerations, torturing of dissidents, genocide, and so forth.

Whenever you feel uncomfortable by the fact that there is wide disagreement about almost everything in our country, be proud and grateful about it. That is the price of your freedom. People in countries like Russia, China, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and son do not have the "problem" of disagreement. The government forces agreement a strong hand and an iron fist. 

A strong man may be enticing to you if you think that he will be enforcing your privileges and taking down your opponents. That is why the MAGA crowd favors the MAGA king. However, once you surrender your liberties to a dictator is very hard to get them back. You may love that original dictator, but you don't know if you will love him when power corrupts him completely or when he dies and someone else inherits all the power.  Trying to avoid disagreement, you may find yourself trapped living in a shitty ordinary dictatorship. It is better to be free to disagree than being forced to agree.

Do you agree? What do you think? Food for thought.

Great Replacement

Great Replacement vs Great Awakening The Great Replacement is the observation that a segment of the American political left wants to control the Nation politically by replacing American born white voters with nonwhite immigrants. The Great Awakening is the counter observation that a segment of the American political right wants to control the Nation by instigating white rage and white supremacy. Both observations hold true in the eyes of their respective beholders. This is still the classic North vs South conflict in America. There is a lot of money to be made keeping our Nation together and avoiding a second civil war.   TakeSlap serves spicy food for thought. We toss words together to slap you into innovative thinking.

MAGA People of Color

MAGA is a movement of people of color. Beige color, that is. Human skin comes in three color shades: beige, brown, and black. Any color is okay. What is not okay is thinking that one color is better than another. What makes MAGA people suffer is that liberals are ending the color coded society that MAGA folks had learned was "great".  Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com People of Color  People of color are the base of the MAGA movement. Their color is beige. Human skin comes in three main colors or shades: beige, brown, and black. Melanin, a natural "ink" or pigment made by the body is responsible for skin color.  Your melanin color varies depending on whether your ancestors stayed in tropical weather, or migrated to nordic weather. Northern latitudes have less ultraviolet (UV) radiation plus are cold requiring people to cover their skin. The combination of less UV radiation plus covered skin, made melanin beige.  You can see melanin as natural form ...

A 76 year old beige man

Neither Hunter Biden nor Steve Bannon can save Trump this time. Hunter is reportedly an atheist. Bannon is supposedly a christian who keeps a fake portrait of a bleached skin Jesus in his office. The J6 Hearings are destroying Trump and he seems doomed. Luckily for Trump he is a man of color (color beige) and will most likely avoid criminal prosecution. Luckily for all of us, Trump's political career is almost over. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Trump's Epic Collapse Millions of Americans have been waiting for Trump's collapse. Trump is a 76 year old old man with a poor diet, and a super stressful lifestyle. That is a lethal combination for any heart. Men of beige color with similar lifestyle factors are prone to deadly heart attacks. With every heartbeat, the blonde dyed hair and fake orange makeup gets closer to his final day on Earth.  No one is eternal; not even the MAGA king. That is the most fundamental flaw of kings and dictators. Even assuming ...
