    Riiiiiiight. A country with a first amendment which prohibits the establishment of a state religion and which guarantees the right to practice no religion at all can't survive without allowing a bunch of god-crazies to immigrate. Sorry, but you are completely wrong - Americas diverse population is a stregnth, not a weakness. The weakness is racist and bigoted morons who refuse to live alongside anyone who does not share their religious beliefs.
    Not that poster but the Russians have been exploiting social hot buttons that do divide us like gun rights https://www.wired.com/story/pro-gun-...land-shooting/, or Black Lives Matter (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...626-story.html). They've interfered in the elections in other countries and their issues as well like the abortion vote in Ireland http://www.wired.co.uk/article/irela...-8th-fake-news. They study what makes populations tick and capitalize on it, which then ratchets up the rhetoric and anger and divides us more. They are a scourge to all democracies.

    The gun issue is especially interesting given the arrest yesterday of a Russian spy (let's call her what she is) who was trying to infiltrate US gun rights groups. Russian oligarchs also "donated" to the NRA (and Putin paid the them back, either in cash or favors).
