Two Wings, Same Bird: How Politics Is Dividing a Nation

There’s a wound in the heart of America. And it’s not just political — it’s personal now.

Families don’t talk. Friendships have ended. Even churches are splitting over who voted for who.

And all the while, we’ve forgotten something critical: We’re fighting over two wings of the same political bird…A bird that hasn’t flown in the direction of the people for a very long time.

We’ve Stopped Listening

In 2025, the political war isn’t just on Capitol Hill — it’s on TikTok, church pews, and group chats.

The Trump vs. The Democratic Party is tearing people in half before the ballots are even printed.
Social feeds are either filled with “Let’s save democracy!” or “Let’s take our country back!” — no space in between.
Conservative Christians call liberals “demonic.” Progressives call conservatives “fascists.”
Families have stopped inviting each other over — not because of distance, but because of division.

Meanwhile, issues that affect everyone — food prices, housing instability, mass surveillance, AI job displacement — get lost in the noise.

We’re not debating solutions. We’re just screaming across party lines.

The Bird Doesn’t Care Who Wins!

Let’s be honest: Whether you’re voting blue or red, the price of eggs still went up. The border is still chaotic. Pharmaceutical companies are still untouched. And the same corporations fund both sides behind the scenes.

Billion-dollar donors win either way.

Wall Street doesn’t care who’s President — as long as they keep profiting.

While we argue about who’s "woke" or "MAGA"...while Twitter threads explode over misquotes and media spins...

Military budgets grow. Surveillance tightens. Schools underperform.

This isn’t left vs. right. This is top vs. bottom — and we forgot.

Hatred Is the Real Virus

The real threat isn’t your neighbor’s political preference. It’s the hatred that’s become a new kind of religion.

Trump supporters being physically attacked at rallies.
Liberals being doxxed and fired for social justice posts.
Teens terrified to speak their opinion in classrooms.
Cancel culture silencing everyday people — not just celebrities.

This is no longer democracy. This is ideological warfare.

When truth becomes tribal, nobody wins.

Step Out of the Binary: It’s a Trap

You’re allowed to say:

“I see corruption in both parties.”
“I want secure borders and humane treatment.”
“I believe in bodily autonomy and personal responsibility.”
“I want justice without burning the entire system down.”

But the system doesn’t reward nuance. It rewards rage.

Why? Because rage keeps us engaged. And division keeps them in power.

The Revolution Is Inner First

Healing the nation won’t start with a new bill or candidate. It starts with how we treat each other when we disagree.

In 2025, maybe the real rebellion isn’t shouting louder. It’s pausing, listening, and saying:

“I don’t hate you just because you vote different than me.”

The powers that be fear one thing more than protest: Unity.

Final Truth

We don’t have to all agree. We just have to remember we’re still human.

You don’t owe loyalty to a side. You owe it to your soul.

Let them keep arguing. Let them keep dividing.

You? You see the whole bird now. And you’re not picking a wing — you’re building a better nest.

Because a house divided will fall. But a people awakened? We rise.
