Dichotomy: "a division or contrast between two things that are or are represented as being opposed or entirely different."
Recently the United States went through its Presidential election cycle and the people chose former US Senator and Vice President Joe Biden to succeed Donald Trump as the 46th POTUS. Trump represented the Republican side while Biden is a Democrat. The difference between the 2 is stark when placed side by side. Biden is a career politician having served in the US Senate for 36 years and as Vice President under former President Obama for 8. Trump is not a politician by any stretch of the imagination.
Trump's style of running the country, and all that entails, was more of a caveman swinging his club while pounding his chest to declare he was the boss. Biden on the other hand knows the ins and outs of D.C. politics and the behavior of those in D.C. as well as the media display this with the ease of a New York mafioso telling you what is going to happen and what will happen to you if you don't follow his "advice".
Nothing makes this more apparent than the behavior of the mainstream media aka MSM. While covering Trump they could find little to nothing positive to say on the nightly newscasts. Meanwhile, their behavior towards Biden has been more of a kid-glove approach. As an example, Trump's actions involving illegal immigrant children was decried as inhumane by the MSM and others. Never mind that the photos used of the "cages" were from Obama's time. Even though the photos were not from Trump's time they were used to stoke the flames of outrage.
Biden meanwhile has resurrected a similar policy with little to no outrage by the same media. Several prominent voices have spoken out against it but the MSM hasn't made it a nightly issue. Biden has reopened a detention center for unaccompanied illegal immigrant kids that has received little outrage outside of a few prominent voices. When Trump did it it was making headlines and was a daily topic by the media pundits. It was decried as inhumane and it needed to be stopped immediately. The outrage regarding Biden's actions has not even reached the same level as when Trump did it. It reeks of a double standard.
Let's move on to another prominent politician who has recently come under fire for accusations of sexual assault as well as issues regarding his COVID 19 policies.
Democrat Governor Cuomo of New York has recently been embroiled in a scandal involving his COVID 19 nursing home policy. This policy forced New York nursing homes to accept COVID 19 patients from hospitals. This put those elderly residents of these homes at great risk and it appears the policy was ill-advised. What is currently being reported is that the Governor and his staff may have undercounted the actual number of nursing home deaths as a result of his policy. The numbers provided to the Federal Government may have been lower than the actual total. The Attorney General for New York, herself a Democrat, has even stated this. To go along with this problem now 2 former female members of the Governors's staff have accused him of sexual harassment. Where is the MSM during all of this? They're busy making a major issue out of Senator Ted Cruz's trip to Mexico during the winter storm that caused serious havoc in Texas. Senator Cruz is a Republican so the MSM has to make him look like the Devil all while ignoring the "dumpster fire" that is Governor Cuomo's scandals.
Where are all the prominent liberal women who spoke out against Justice Kavanaugh when unproven allegations of sexual assault were made against him during his hearing to become a Supreme Court Justice? Strangely these women are all silent about Cuomo. Where is the outrage from Hollywood regarding Governor Cuomo? Yeah, all I hear are crickets. Had this been a Republican Governor the MSM would be all over it from now until 2022 but Cuomo is a Democrat so it's not given the same level of reporting on any of the liberal media outlets.
The purpose of American politics is simple. Keep the people divided and never let them see the truth of what is going on in D.C. Keep the die-hards in each party foaming at the mouth and when necessary let them off the chain to cause chaos. If that fails the cancel culture brigade can step in and "cancel" any dissenters. The longer they keep us divided the more they can subvert our political process to the point that soon we will be controlled much like the characters in Orwell's book 1984.
Don't believe me? Keep sitting back believing either of our two big political parties cares about you and watch what happens.
