[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 4639673, member: 49065"] I have a history book on political cartoons, the discord going on with this election is not even close to what Abraham Lincoln went through in the 1860's. I believe that some of the representatives were actually physically fighting and shooting at each other on the congress or senate floors, pistols duels were outlawed back then but still were happening over political disagreements. The American system is healthy when people no matter what their beliefs have the right to disagree, the trouble starts when one side feels so alienated to a point of isolating themselves, this is how these fringe groups get started whether conservative or liberal. Take a look at the electoral college, the Democrats control the coasts and big cities the Republicans the middle states and the rural areas, it is a matter of count and balances that still has America on top of the food chain and leading the world in every category of Economic Growth and Military Strength no matter who the figurehead or individual that occupies the White House, Senate, Congress and the Court...
