The Domino Effect & YOU.
We all know about toppling dominos – it’s fun. Line ‘em up – watch ‘em fall. Some people do amazing layouts toppling thousands of dominoes for entertainment. So cool to watch.
A domino effect creates an outcome.
There are both GOOD & BAD domino effects.
Here's what the BAD ones look like emotionally.
Sometimes really BAD domino effects are intentionally created by people in order to manipulate others.
You will understand more as I share…but hold your horses.
You must read and think – NOT jump-read and skim.
Don’t take what I say at face value – think for yourself. The truth is obvious.

Reading the THE GREAT DIVIDE section is the best place to start.
The Domino Effect is one of many complex components of the problem.
Sharing parts of my backstory is crucial for providing context and deeper meaning to our situation. Some of my added 'personal narrative' acts as the foundation; explaining the 'WHY' behind current behaviors, motivations, and emotions. This helps my perspective be more meaningful regarding the "invisible scripts" that may be influencing your present circumstances.

Over a decade ago, I saw a growing problem of division & hate in our country. As a former Business Consultant I could tell this had the potential to get much worse. So I chose to investigate to find out the WHAT, WHY & HOW >>> You can't fix what you don't understand.
-
The entire content herein (The Great Divide & America 250) are the results of 7 years of intense research, including going to all contiguous 48 states. To be honest, I hated what I found out & it has now become personal, which is why I'm sharing with you. We all need to understand the problem together so we can fix it. We the people... in order to form a more perfect union...

Our division is definitely politically rooted. This is an untenable situation that can no longer be tolerated, defended, or continued. I have been politically unbiased and non-partisan. I have also voted for Democrat & Republican Presidents during the last 10 elections. You may find a few NEW personal feelings pop up now and then due to my findings.
I am 100% hopeful you will find the following in-depth explanations for the growing turbulence from the DOMINO EFFECT to be enlightening.
Pause any preconceived thoughts while reading will help.
Okay. Jump out of your comfort zone and let's do this...
The Domino Effect & YOU. And everyone else too.
1. STRANGE: On March 25, 2021, President Biden was asked about a potential 2024 rematch against Donald Trump. Biden said, "I have no idea whether there will be a Republican Party. DO YOU?"
His reply seemed very curious. The Republican Party is well established. Was the cat out of the bag??? Maybe he knew of some plans the public didn't?
Is something brewing for a future, permanent One-Party Rule?
After all, when he was asked that question the Republican Party had been around for 167 years - and had maybe 261 members in both Chambers of Congress - in addition to all states.
It was born in 1854 and firmly established prominence as a major political party with the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. Abolition of Slavery, Free Speech, Women’s Right to Vote, and reducing the size of gov't were all causes the Republican Party adopted early on.
In 1896, the Republican Party was the first major political party to support women’s suffrage. When the 19th Amendment finally was added to the Constitution, 26 of 36 state legislatures that had voted to ratify it were under Republican control. The first woman elected to Congress was a Republican, Jeanette Rankin from Montana in 1917.
Regarding less gov't or expanding gov't, it is obvious the Republican Party always believes in less gov't. Contrarily, adversarial countries like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea believe in more government.
NOW to EXPLAINING the MANY COMPONENTS of the DOMINO EFFECT that is ENGULFING OUR LIVES; resulting in the UN-friending of lifelong friends & relatives; and creating widespread hate & irrationality.
From item #2 on is information that might leave you dumbfounded.
2. TRUSTED MEDIA OUTLETS for News & other information.
There are 30 major trusted outlets that supposedly report factual non-biased news. Information from PEW RESEARCH showing how the 30 are split between political parties is extraordinary. 23 are pro Democrat and 7 are pro Republican. Totally lopsided and biased.
Unless they absolutely have to, the 23 media outlets intentionally avoid verified 'negative or illegal' news coverage about their party that looks bad.
That media info may be one of the most important puzzle pieces that fuses it all together - especially when interacted upon by ALGORITHMS, etc.

3. 'Accelerant-lies' appear to be on the rise and becoming a standard practice throughout many areas of media. Their obvious purpose is to quickly inflame, accelerate rage, hate, and potentially explosive & violent emotional reactions in others; seems to be directed towards those more easily manipulated?
Here's just one recent and 'WORSE THAN STUPID' example.
MARCH 2, 2026: A CNN guest, Leigh McGowan (also known as PoliticsGirl on social media with 3 million estimated followers) falsely claimed that during his recent State of the Union address that President Trump said, “Democrats are evil monsters who should be killed." When McGowan was called out for her false remarks, she just said she was being "hyperbolic."
What the president did say was the Democrats were "crazy" and destroying America. That's a big difference from Leigh McGowan's 100% heinous lie. How long has she been stating her "hyperbolic" slanderous remarks? Blatant false remarks like McGowan's could easily be interpreted as a call to action, resulting in deadly consequences.

How many people believed her? Where else has she spread those kind of murderous lies? Broadcasting "hyperbolic fiction fear" nationwide is why Charlie Kirk got murdered and why President Trump almost got murdered. Shouldn't people & companies who spread heinous statements that might inspire potentially deadly calls to action face consequences?
In my opinion, "ignitable styled conversations" are like throwing gasoline on a fire and should not be accepted nor tolerated by anyone, as they serve no good purpose - especially related to emotionally charged politics.
I understand politics has always been volatile, but perhaps we all need to change our mindset for the better. From my perspective, it appears the Democratic Party, Democrat Influencers, and the main 23 Democrat Media have all become excellent at psychological manipulation and creating anger and hate among fellow democrat voters by using extreme or wild exaggerations, ‘fictional fear’ and confusion. Insane comments ultimately create a tsunami of hate with the potential to destroy our country if continually allowed to run rampant. I have observed an assortment of scary headlines that all 23 outlet use intermittently in lock-step.
Here are a few extreme 'friction' examples of one side verses the other:
ICE being called gestapo & nazis. Donald Trump calling Elizabeth Warren ‘Pocahontas’ and Joe Biden ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ is not even close to our president continually being called Hitler, dictator, Trump needs to be in the bullseye, Jan 6 was worse that 911 (911 left a permanent devastation), women will lose all their rights if Trump is elected (I have personally heard that from many females), no more free speech, Trump is destroying our Democracy, unfair this & unfair that, etc. Both sides need to realize that 24/7 bombardment of hateful & suggestive rhetoric is negatively impacting attitudes among people in ALL areas of daily life, as well as, the workplace.
Disheartening Example: During our 48 state research process, every state was amazing and on the surface most of the people were nice. However, we had many bad eye-opening one-on-one experiences often involving profound shifts in perspective, such as: If I said I was a Democrat to a person also a Democrat, there was instant camaraderie. But if I said I was a Republican they suddenly appeared filled with hate for me. Conversely, if I said I was a Democrat to a Republican, the opposite occurred. We could engage in friendly conversations about politics. I was even 'thanked' for being able to discuss politics without open hostilities. That was a humbling experience.
Observation: Unfortunately, main stream media predominantly only shares information that can twisted and spun around to make Republicans look bad because the Democratic Party wants to secure more voters, no matter what. As we all become more aware of this, it becomes easy to spot.
Why does one specific party encourage citizens and non-citizens to be violent, yell and scream, blow whistles and honk horns in peoples' ears, cause chaos and havoc, favor defunding police, encourage anti-police, favor no id when voting, and worse. This is not a team sporting event with one team and crazy fans against the other.
Isn't it time for real truth rather than made-up truth.
I'm for more harmony and less dissonance.
How 'bout you?
This should be Team America.
United. NOT Untied.
All of us working together as civilized humans for the betterment of all American Citizens. Doesn't that make better sense?
