There is nothing I dread So much, as a Division of the Republick into two great Parties, each arranged under its Leader, and concerting Measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble Apprehension is to be dreaded as the greatest political Evil, under our Constitution.
John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Letter (1780-10-02) to Jonathan Jackson

A quotation from Abraham Lincoln
If both factions, or neither, shall abuse you, you will probably be about right. Beware of being assailed by one and praised by the other.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Letter (1863-05-27) to Gen. John M. Schofield

Everything is better than #US "#News" except maybe #Russia, "P.R." #China, #Iran #KSA & #SaudiArabia...
- Simply because News in #Germany is focussed on #journalism and not pushing #partisanship and #disinformation like #FoxNews does all the time.
Seriously, people who think "#TuckerCarlson" or whoever else is there #goebbeling is a "#Newscaster" is insulting actual presenters...
To anyone with #psychology and #sociology chops:
Do you remember a #study (reported in popular science press within the last 10 years) about #partisanship that tried to #measure the base level of commonality that would always transcend #partisan divides...and found that there was none?
#AI couldn't help, thankfully or no. I thought I read about it in @arstechnica but no luck searching there.
Any pointers appreciated.
"Hegseth Is Purging Military Leaders With Little Explanation"
The Trump Administration is ideologically purging all branches of government in ways that the USA may never recover from.

But what impressed me then, and has impressed me ever since, is that atrocities are believed in or disbelieved in solely on grounds of political predilection. Everyone believes in the atrocities of the enemy and disbelieves in those of his own side, without ever bothering to examine the evidence.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 2, New Road (1943-06)

Later, the desperate desire of AG #MerrickGarland & President Joe #Biden to avoid any appearance of #partisanship led the #DOJ to put off looking into #evidence of a *potential* #crime & gave #Trump an advantage that few appreciated at the time. Garland’s delays softened the ground & would eventually help Trump remake the #Justice Department into his own cudgel.
