There is so much bitterness in these replies that it reminds me of my history classes when we learned about the events leading up to the Civil War where it was brother against brother and neighbor against neighbor. I can see it now, before you can enter a pool you will have to show your voter registration card indicating a D or an R instead of your Villager ID. For me, I'm voting for Jimmy Buffett for President !!!!!
CV is causing an acceleration of change according to History experts. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer - this was basically caused by Federal tax policy. CV has accelerated that wealth disparity. Even the bubble of TV Land has been affected....polarized. Sometimes over minute and non-productive issues, like wearing masks. Bizzare ideas of conspiracy are being circulated. A lot of the strangeness and hostility started as a backlash against the 1st Black President. Society got into a whiplash of the left of center against the right of center. The next months until Jan 20th is going to be filled with some magnitude (large or small) of drama and unrest. Hopefully, the pendulum will swing back to a moderate middle.
