Not only is the credibility of &#8220;mainstream&#8221; in tatters, but in one recent online poll (by the conservative pollster Rasmussen Reports) 58% of likely U.S. voters at least somewhat agree that the media are \u201cthe enemy of the people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While the term &#8220;fake news&#8221; is overused and, technically speaking, often inaccurate, one can certainly call mainstream media &#8212; and the facts they purvey, even<em> if<\/em> technically true &#8212; badly slanted (especially against Christians). The result of this well-deserved collapse in media trust and the wild open-door nature of the internet has been increasingly bizarre claims and beliefs by a fragmented populace too quickly swayed by bloggers and YouTubers who are themselves misinformed and slanted, although usually sincere in their views. We have no more common living room. We have no more common hearth. We no longer gather around the American fireplace (and flag). We no longer believe the same &#8220;facts,&#8221; or even care about <em>checking<\/em> the facts. We declare as facts whatever we happen to believe. Too often, those who proclaim &#8220;fake news&#8221; themselves espouse misinformation. We no longer share the same networks or even the same reality.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We have long warned<\/span> that these alternative realities and the concomitant divide &#8212; happening faster than most projected &#8212; could and likely will lead to the actual disintegration of the U.S. and devolution into semi-autonomous regions or even full republics (like nations such as Ukraine, Latvia, Georgia, Russia, and Lithuania were once part of the U.S.S.R.) within the lifetimes of our children, if not our own. Only under God will the United States return to being one nation, indivisible (able to fend off foreign adversaries).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"commentary\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1626654313\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Is This How U.S. Might Look?\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who can deny the disunited nature of these &#8220;United&#8221; States?
