🇺🇸 Is the U.S. heading toward a 'national divorce'? Recent clashes between Republican-led states and the Biden administration over immigration, coupled with renewed gun control debates after the Kansas Super Bowl parade shooting, have amplified fears of deepening polarization.
Over half of U.S. Republican governors have publicly backed Texas in its border policy standoff, while Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s call to split the country into ideological 'red' and 'blue' zones has gone viral. 🔥 But what do everyday Americans think?
'The division starts with how states handle issues like immigration and mass shootings,' said Noah Vargas, a New York hospitality worker. Meanwhile, healthcare worker Andrew Morris told reporters: 'Whether it’s Republicans or Democrats in charge, they’re all serving the same capitalist system holding people back.' 💸
With trust in institutions eroding and social media fueling 'us vs. them' narratives, young Americans are increasingly questioning: Can the nation bridge its divides? 🌉
