Polarization 

 What does the President-elect do to unify a polarized country?  He can ask for unity but millions of disaffected citizens won't listen.  Rather, they discuss among themselves a stolen election and the perfidy of Democrats.  For that they use the internet and web sites catering to their conspiracies.  Politicians are to blame for a good part of the split republic.  They have campaigned on vilifying opponents and inciting rage against them.  They will continue to do so until the public is weary of charges and counter-charges and mud-throwing.  What is certain is that campaign tactics used by many is lousy PR.  It claws down both good and bad candidates and leaves them smeared with feces and a civic body of opponents.  When will campaigners realize enough is enough?  Not until they start to lose elections, and that might be a long time to come.
