The Politicization of Damn Near Everything

Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 45th President of The United States on Friday around 12:00 EDT.

That statement should be fairly innocuous and represent nothing but a fact that the Blue Marble is still turning and that we voted democratically and that we are moving onward in our respective lives.

However, to many in this country, the fact that Trump is actually going to run the country is so far beyond belief that their very lives have been turned upside down. The things that they have long held true are beginning to crumble from under their feet.
Most of the people that I speak of are Liberal leeches who choose to suckle of Uncle Sam's teet until they are forced off. Otherwise, why would a guy taking office affect them so?
I understand that most people don't like Trump as a person; I don't care for him myself, nor did I vote for him. But honestly, the stuff that is going on right now is far beyond the pale of comparison that we've ever seen in America. We are truly a nation divided.

America, for a good part of it's brief history was divided by race. We still are. President Obama did not help that issue nearly as much as he could have as an African-American man. The argument could certainly be made that he made race relations in America worse.
But what I see and hear as I follow and listen to politics is the divide that might be more difficult to break than even race; the divide of red or blue; Democrat or Republican; Liberal or Conservative.
TRUMP IS NOT EVEN IN OFFICE YET!!

I've often thought that partisanism would be the downfall of this great country, and the more I'm on social media, the more I become convinced of that theory. Why is it this way?
For BOTH sides of the aisle, you do know that you don't have all the answers, right?

The backlash toward performers who want to share in the moment of an inauguration is incredible. The list of performers scheduled to appear is a varitable "C" list of Hollywood's most average. This all because the talent that actually wants to perform, if for no other reason than for the history of it, cannot do so because it would be career suicide.
This is a truly sad state of affairs for my country. 

I would ask and pray that those who dislike (see: hate) Trump should give the guy a chance. Maybe he can make America great again, maybe he can't. I'm willing to withhold judgment until such time comes that he fails.
