Who’s most to blame for divisive political rhetoric?
This Newsweek article (read it here) is titled, “Has 2024 Campaign Rhetoric Gone Too Far? Analysts Weigh In.” Let’s start with what people agree on: “Polling suggests that most Americans agree that the country is too divided by politics. An Ipsos survey … found that 81 [...]
Trump a “normal” candidate? Who is he kidding?
