THE GREAT DIVIDE
THE GOOD, THE BAD, and THE UGLY
Researched by A Spooner
Everything herein should be easily verifiable.
There are no conspiracy theories or fiction/friction.
My research was 99% politically neutral and involved going to all 48 contiguous states. I am typically NON-partisan and have voted for both Democrat & Republican presidents during the last 10 elections.
I'm the founder of MyLiberty.us and also a semi-retired business consultant, ginsbergMGMT.com. I am very good at ferreting out real causes of a problem. That's what I've done here for you. Because - this was personal for me. I love my country and want her to continue to grow so life is good for ALL citizens.
Like it states, "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."
Today, YOU and ME and the rest of us are the WE.
Attention Democrat Voters and Republican Voters
THIS IS FOR YOU
NO KINGS
In case you forgot or didn't know?
The United States has a 'No Kings' event every year -- Celebrating our independence from the tyrant
King George III of England.
It's called the 4th of July!
PROLOGUE
THE GREAT DIVIDE is NOT an accident —
and it is NOT inevitable.
It can be fixed.
WHY & HOW is the undercurrent of division dangerously accelerating within the USA? Explained herein. Understanding = 1st step to fixing.
This prologue prepares you for what you are about to experience below in THE DISCOVERY section.
Reading this intro creates a better overall understanding between you, the reader, and the seriousness of the reality of what is occurring all around you right now as you read this. It's a necessary glimpse of what to expect, some background context, the unusual & unbelievable concepts influencing our behavior, the cast of characters.
Many Americans feel something is wrong — long before they can explain it. You have probably noticed something is off. It was troubling but you couldn't pin-point it. Now you might be ready to understand it?
THE GREAT DIVIDE section on MYLIBERTY.US exists to help Americans discover what divides us - before division becomes permanent.
The causes are certainly not what you would expect.
This is not for skimmers. Take your time.
Come back as often as you want to read more.
No pressure. I will not exhaust you. I will not trick you.
Your time will be respected.
This is a read & think doc.
This content is not meant to provoke you or rush you.
> It’s meant to help you slow down and understand what's been quietly shaping our thoughts, emotions, and division for years. ???
I’ll share with you clearly, honestly, and practically, without fluff.
What you will discover:
-
A clear explanation of why & how our division grows
-
Patterns most people sense but rarely see laid out
-
No sides, no shouting, no 'rushed' conclusions
-
All results are based on facts and 'actual' behavior patterns
-
This is not a political attack
-
This is not a demand that you agree
-
This is not a call to outrage
Understanding division doesn’t require outrage. It requires calm. Freedom from agitation. Because as we regain our ability to see clearly, 'unity' becomes practical again.
-- Currently --
America is being emotionally & painfully ripped apart.
Families are being divided. Long-term friendships have ended.
An escalating political war of hate between our Democrat and Republican citizens has reached the highest destructive levels ever. This conflict involves a variety of issues and has surrounded us in a FOG OF WAR that creates a distorted reality and clouds everyone's judgement.
As a country, we appear to have emotionally sunk down near the RED zone in the chart. We need to elevate up to the GREEN zone.
Dangerously BAD
Healthy & GOOD
Escalating hate, tension and friction levels directly impact the durability of our Nation & our Democracy & our Future.
Perhaps, this is the most divided we have ever been since America's Civil War. That conflict was fought between the federal government (largely Republican-led) and the South (largely Democrat-led). Our current situation appears similar, but for different justifications.
The complexities of today's situation are vast and aghast. But once you understand how the 'causes' harmfully interact with each other, the curtain is raised and your clarity is 100%. These multiple interactive scenarios have put us on the edge of a bad scenario.
-
The numerous CAUSES are all in sync together (both accidentally & deliberately). They are creating a catastrophic, metaphoric time-bomb that "we the people" need to defuse right NOW!
-
Like in an ACTION MOVIE - this requires a unified URGENCY to change whatever the impending consequences might be. What I discovered bothered me and will probably bother you. Because it conflicts with what our brains have been fed daily for over a decade. So, please pause negative thoughts as you continue to discover what I discovered, as I share with you.
OVERVIEW: What ARE these MULTIPLE CAUSES???
There are way too many various, hyper-negative factors at work that are being fed into our brains daily 24/7. Yours & mine. This unauthorized mental input is what is creating division & confusion. What's interesting is the fact that it's delivered in way that we don't know we are confused.
Division doesn’t require hatred.
It only requires constant repetition.
That creates the justification & the hatred.
Here are a few of the Complex Puzzle Pieces:
Advanced tech used to fertilize & inflate hate -- Phone Farms used to manipulate & misinform -- Over heated media -- Extensive use of Inflammatory & Misleading Propaganda designed to intensify Democrat anger and confuse the general public -- Malicious bots & Algorithms -- Millions/Billions $$ in funding is provided to create chaos -- Foreign Adversaries living in the USA (posing as Americans) are helping lead & organize the Anti-Everything -- A Democrat Socialist Agenda for the U.S. -- Democrat revenge-focused-anger at losing control of Government to Republicans in 2016, as it upset their planned agenda.
The General Intricacies of the Causes
-
Characteristics: These include multiple interacting components, non-linearity, collective dynamics, hierarchy, and emergence. They are defined by an intricate, compounded nature, often representing the "knottiness" or "trickiness" of a situation.
-
Management: Dealing with complexities involves recognizing that, because these issues have many layers and lack simple solutions, they require understanding the underlying, interconnected factors.
The Causation Overview above is just the tip of the iceberg.
No Titanic please.
Understanding this bad DOMINO EFFECT helps fix the problem.
For those who want it fixable?
An eye-popping, in-depth dissection of several prime CAUSES is shared next in THE DISCOVERY.
?
But first, this is curious.
THE GREAT DIVIDE almost appears to be high-level and well-orchestrated like a strategic military battleplan designed to destroy an enemy.
Who are the culprits? Is America the enemy that is trying to be destroyed? I certainly don't know for sure. I'm just providing an "Aha!" moment and enlightenment to the ingredients of this catastrophic situation that has already gone too far. The potentially negative consequences are severe, such as massive economic failure, or structural collapse of America.
😳 HERE IS 'THE DISCOVERY'
This is not fiction. This curtain-raiser provides a detailed overview of the WHY and HOW of America's severe state of friction.
E X P A N D E D insight.
Things we didn't know.
A condensed summary.
Below are just 7 of the many separate prime components, all working together as a whole — to fuel the hate machine and divide us.
Each on its own creates a series of insidious domino effects.
Also: Trusted Media, Love/Hate/Why, Domino Effect & You.
Items 1 thru 6 takes about 16 minutes as a straight read.
The single most important mechanisms behind our nation's division.
(I was mentally devastated when I uncovered the first 4. Ouch.)
1. Algorithms - Their ability to distort is unbelievable
They exponentially expand negative headlines, which makes hate headlines appear to be true and more far reaching than they actually are. This creates an "everyone's doing it" scenario in a person's mind, making the problem thrive and grow. Plus, it accelerates like crazy when one political party tends to dominate the media news due to a larger number of biased, favored media outlets. Out of 30 main sources, the Democrats have 23 & the Republicans have 7. This link Media and Algorithms Explained gives a quick in-depth overview of how algorithms fuel hate.
2. Propaganda Overload via News Media Sources & Social Media Propaganda is the systematic spread of biased or misleading information (facts, rumors, or lies) to influence public opinion, attitudes, and behavior to support a specific cause, agenda, or political point of view, often by appealing to emotions rather than reason. While it can be neutral (promoting a faith), the term usually carries a negative connotation of manipulation, using techniques like name-calling or fear, especially in politics or war. Key techniques include bandwagon effects (join the crowd), fear-mongering, inflammatory name-calling (that incites violence, and celebrity testimonials.
Here are 2 Inflammatory Name-Calling Examples:
Comparing Elizabeth Warren to Pocahontas
Comparing Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler
* I'm sure you can think of more examples that you hear or read repeatedly throughout all media. Or do 2 searches and read the Ai summaries. The search questions: (1) the worst name calling examples from Donald Trump & Republican leaders. (2) the worst name calling examples from the Democratic leaders.
* Lies repeated over and over and over again begin to sound like truths. All of which can lead to treacherous consequences.
* The tendency for repeated lies to sound like truth is known as the 'illusory truth effect' -- a cognitive bias where familiarity is mistaken for accuracy.
3. Phone Farms
One Main Purpose of a Phone Farm is to
Rapidly Spread Misinformation and Social Manipulation.
We have entered the era where this illicit industry has dug its tentacles deep into legitimate institutions, reshaping economies, corrupting governments and establishing state reliance on illegal networks. Phone Farm Scammers have harnessed increasingly sophisticated technology to fool targets: using generative AI to translate and drive conversations and deepfake technology to conduct video calls.
Phone Farms are PAID to engage in various unethical, fraudulent, and often illegal activities designed to manipulate people and digital systems for profit, influence, or malicious intent. These operations use dozens, hundreds, or thousands of smartphones to simulate human behavior.
Phone Farms - Global Industry Scale:
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) conservatively estimates there are hundreds of large-scale scam phone farms and thousands of smaller-scale phone farms operating globally. A Large-scale phone farm has around 17,000 phones per compound. The smaller farms often operate with several hundred to a few thousand devices each to manipulate social media and app rankings.
Phone Farms - They operate 24/7 creating deception:
-
Masking Malicious Traffic: Utilizing rotating IP addresses and SIM cards to mimic legitimate, geographically diverse users to bypass security detection systems.
-
Political Manipulation: Creating, amplifying, and spreading fake news, propaganda, and divisive content through coordinated activity on social media. Objective: to influence elections or sway public opinion.
-
Disinformation Campaigns: Using bots to sow panic or alter perception. They spread fake news, propaganda, and "wrong text" scams, often creating artificial trends on social media platforms like X and TikTok.
-
Hashtag Hijacking: Using bots to flood trending hashtags with spam to drown out genuine voices or protest messages.
-
Click Farming: They generate fake likes, followers, and views for influencers and brands.
Phone Farms - Geographic Concentration:
-
Southeast Asia & China: This is the "ground zero" for the most intensive operations
-
Europe and North America: Recent raids have uncovered substantial networks in these regions as well. For example, a 2025 Europol operation dismantled a network that had created over 49 million fake accounts using SIM farms across dozens of countries.
-
Infrastructure Scale: Major illegal farms can manage massive quantities of hardware. A single raid in the New York area in late 2025 uncovered over 100,000 SIM cards and 300 servers capable of sending 30 million texts per minute. (whoa!!!)
Phone Farms - Typical example on U.S. Social Media:
-
Impersonating an American? (A few sites show unmasked IP addresses - This IP address was New Zealand) March 2026: “Omg….Trump is posting more insane posts. He calls Democrats names that could obviously only describe himself, and his MAGA CULT. He threatens his own country with more actions by his ICE THUGS, see... Read more »”
-
Then if you click Read more, you may or may not get hacked & all your contacts are now in the phone farm's system?
If I was a foreign agitator/disruptor or hacker working to manipulate Americans, I certainly wouldn’t say I was from China, North Korea, Iran, Russia or part a terrorist group like ISIS. I would pretend I lived in the USA or was from a country more like the U.S. – maybe New Zealand, Australia, or another country with a population mix similar to the U.S., in order to appear real.
4. Internal Foreign Adversary Influences - The Enemy Within
This outlines the beginning of the ORIGINAL Bad Domino Effect that has continued to expand through the decades.
Did you know? In 1919, two communist parties emerged from the left wing of the Socialist Party of America (SPA): the Communist Party of America (CPA), composed of the SPA’s foreign-language federations and led by the sizeable and influential Russian Federation, and the Communist Labor Party of America (CLP), the predominantly English-language group. They were established legally but were soon forced underground. In 1922, they created the legal and aboveground trade union, Workers Party of America (WPA).
In the late 1950’s & early 1960’s, Nikita Khrushchev was the volatile Soviet Premier (USSR) and First Secretary of the Communist Party during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In October 1962, he initiated the secret deployment of over 100 short & medium range nuclear missiles to Cuba (only 90 miles from the United States) to counter U.S. superiority and supposedly to protect Cuba - later negotiating their removal with U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
Nikita Khrushchev only spoke Russian, and according to interpreter translations and CIA documents, the following quote is a paraphrased, sanitized version of what he intended as he explained, “I got in trouble for saying, ‘we will bury you.’ I meant Communism/Socialism will bury Capitalism. We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within. Your workers will destroy you.”
Nikita Khrushchev did not say this exact quote; it's an often paraphrased summary of the long-term Soviet strategy during the Cold War, as well as, the long-term Russian strategy today. It reflects the broader Soviet goal of ideological expansion and the idea that capitalism would eventually collapse or be subverted by socialist principles.
In the 1960's Russia began secretly fostering more communist cell groups and espionage networks in the United States, but today, their modern efforts have significantly intensified.
Former FBI Director Christopher Wray noted in 2023 that the U.S. continues to work to disrupt traditional human espionage, not just cyber threats. He warned that the Russian intelligence footprint remains "way too big".
-
Modern operatives often live as caring American families, blending into suburbs, similar to the portrayal in the 2013-2018 FX series The Americans.
-
Ongoing Threat: Infiltrating. These agents operate undercover to gather intelligence & create turmoil. In addition to being deeply imbedded in certain labor unions, modern communist groups are focused on public, online, and grassroots activism. In the 21st century, it has pivoted to a "mass party" model, focusing on social media, online organizing, and labor-led coalitions against right-wing politics.
-
Structure and "Cells": Modern communist organizing has largely shifted to digital platforms, social media, and open activist coalitions rather than the secretive, underground cells of the 1950s.
-
Modern Focus: Modern groups have shifted tactics and tend to align with broader left-wing movements, focusing on labor rights, racial justice, environmentalism, and opposing corporate capitalism, as a method of converting democracy to socialism/communism.
-
Foreign disruption inside the USA is greatly escalating. Today it has grown larger, worse, more sophisticated and strategic. Now there are paid agitators & paid protesters from various enemy countries posing as ‘concerned Americans’ leading the charge to create disruption & chaos.
-
Unfortunately, our foreign adversaries tuned in when the Democrats became prominently enraged against Donald Trump's announcement to run for president in 2015. Our global enemies saw this as an opportunity to help disintegrate our nation & pitched in -- working behind the scenes, around the clock, to help orchestrate protests and feed the fire of division, patiently waiting for us to destroy ourselves.
-
Iranian Sleeper Cell concerns increased after 1,500 Iranian nationals were arrested crossing the U.S. southern border between 2021 & 2026.
-
-
This is not a make-believe movie script. This is real and well-orchestrated. It’s easy to spot once you are aware of what to look for. They are more malicious, insidious & strategic than most people realize. This has become a well evolved new kind of world war take over. And unfortunately, we Americans are a bit too naïve and too easily manipulated to see it. Plus, we play the every 4-year game with Democrats and Republicans as the enemies against each other. While our 'real' enemies play the long game. Our enemies don’t have to deal with elections or care what people think, because they control their evil any way they choose.
5. DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT AGENDA vs. Capitalism
Our Capitalist System within the USA seems to work fine. At 250 years, what we have still works and has out lived other systems. The idiom, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is appropriate. Suggesting that unnecessary intervention might cause unforeseen issues. Better to focus on fixing actual problems rather than altering working systems. What is really broken > are the politicians. And by their vexing actions, it appears the Democratic Party is more broken than their Republican counterpart.
-
The massive political tension within our country has contributed to the "I don't care" attitude spreading throughout the entire workplace, especially within younger generations & it's growing to include all ages. This negatively impacts a person's work ethic, which lowers employee job performance - a common problem today. The rampant negativity has also lowered American's optimism for the future.
-
This "couldn't give a damn" attitude makes eliminating the rich and not having to work hard for anything and get paid for it very appealing to a large % of society. Because most people might like to NOT work & and get paid anyway. True? Hard work was never a natural part of human nature - cave people hunted when they were hungry - that was their work. End Capitalism. Income Equality for ALL. Easy money - a vote attractor to increase voter participation.
-
Speaking of which: In January 2021, at a rally and on the news, a day before Georgians headed to the polls to decide control of the U.S. Senate (in a runoff election), President-elect Joe Biden promised that victory by Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff would mean $2,000 stimulus checks would be sent out “immediately.” That promise inspired their victory but a $2,000 check was never sent. However, a month earlier in December 2020, President Trump tried to get a Bill passed to have nationwide Covid Relief Checks for $2,000 for individuals or $4,000 for couples, but it failed on 12/24/2020. Democrat manipulation at our expense.
-
Interesting: Per the September 24, 2024 SENATE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, Joe Biden wanted to send stimulus checks to illegal immigrants, what happened? KAMALA HARRIS came into this Chamber; sat in that chair; and cast the tie-breaking vote for this radical and reckless policy of sending stimulus checks to illegal immigrants—just giving them more and more free stuff funded by the American taxpayers.
-
Once you start asking yourself the "WHY" question, you start to see and discover the real truth. Rather than fiction-friction.
-
-
Proponents of the Democrat Socialist Government probably don't realize that the basics of capitalism emerged gradually, with roots in medieval European trade (13th–14th centuries). It solidified as a dominant system during the Industrial Revolution (c. 1760s–1800s), transitioning from trade-based wealth to factory production and wage labor. Capitalism played an vital role in the creation of the millions of products we all enjoy; and, for the millions of jobs and opportunities to choose for whatever life path we want; and to even amass a fortune if we choose that path.
-
Democrat Socialism EQUALS Income equality for ALL? Historically, it appears that Socialism leads to Minimalism. Especially for a country as massively populated as the USA. Maybe this should be our wake-up call? Socialism ends capitalism, which removes the small % of wealth builders from the equation; which then removes the "wealth to share" from the equation; which then leads us into basic Socialism - the first transition phase into communism where the state owns everything and provides you with what you need -- based on what the socialist/communist state thinks you need. (Hmmm.)
-
I don't think any brand of Socialism is what the founders of the United States of America had in mind for our future. Keep in mind, most of the founders of our great country were wealthy capitalists. At 250 years, this year, our system has continued continuously without disruption -- longer than most other countries' governments.
6. A Little More...
Unbeknownst to most of us, WE THE PEOPLE have been maliciously manipulated to create a massive division of hate amongst each other. Not natural to feel this way towards each other-- even once -- close family members or long-term friends are now at odds with each other because of politics and the misguided way media portrays events in order to gain readership/viewership and converts to their projected beliefs.
The result is that the entire USA is in a volatile, political war-like whirlpool of conflict that appears to be fueled by:
-
The modern Socialist Driven Democratic Party,
-
The powerful Democrat biased media,
-
Foreign Adversaries living the the USA and posing as concerned citizens who continually participate as agitators in protests, and
-
Paid protestors who are there for the money.
These daily actions of 4 participant groups constantly feed the fire of discontent. Creating a projected illusion that everyone hates President Trump and that everything he and the Republicans do is the absolutely and always the wrong thing to do. And further, that they should be eliminated. That deliberate illusion causes more and more people to join up in aggressive protests or marches - thinking they are doing something worthwhile. Not knowing they have been pre-programed and conditioned to think that way.
As much as I hate to say this, on the surface it appears that all the tension and division is spearheaded by the Democratic Party. You may or may not agree??? Or, maybe they are being manipulated by a foreign element? Perhaps the Democratic Party has been compromised? If it has been 100% intentional that would be really disturbing.
I was concerned on 3/25/2021 when I heard President-elect Joe Biden leave the impression with the reporter that the Republican Party might not even exist during the 2024 election. Newsweek 3/25/2021 That comment almost sounds like plans for a One-Party Rule?
7. A Little More to discover...
SUMMARY
There are several active subversive forces at work attempting to neuter America, They have been doing this for quite some time, even before the Democrats chose President Trump as their 24/7 target. The Democratic Party has succeeded in accelerating and combining all the bad feelings being spread across America into one disastrous wedge, as was thoroughly researched and explained herein.
The Democrat Rage of hostilities against Donald Trump started when he announced his initial run for president against Hillary Clinton and has been bombarding the brains of American citizens and the world since 2015. Hillary Clinton’s loss in the election to become the first female president devastated the Democratic Party, creating a massive setback for their fast-moving socialist path for America. Since then, they have appeared to be on a non-stop, 24/7 revenge propaganda assault against Trump and the Republican Party ever since. This assault has affected the mental health and well-being of almost every person in America. It has placed family members at odds with each other and ended long-term friendships—unless, of course, you are ALL Democrats. This has NEVER happened before in America.
ACTION PLAN
HERE'S A FRESH THOUGHT...
How about we ALL try working together in harmony, instead of fighting, with whoever is elected President of the United States - regardless of party affiliation. Because that person, who was legitimately elected, is the one the citizens want & voted for to run the country for 4 years so they can see what happens. The president-elect should have full cooperation of both Democrats & Republicans. Otherwise, the President cannot achieve as much if the opposition is continually trying to hobble the President's efforts.
ALL politicians should ALWAYS make American Citizens and protecting our country the #1 Priority. "All for one and one for all"
If ALL politicians decide to cooperate for at least the first 3 out of 4 years we all might be pleasantly surprised at how well that works. Why don't we give it a try.
It's gotta be better than the 24/7 BS that is happening now.
Tell your representatives to do that, or else they're fired!
