The sense of an America divided has moved well beyond politics. theSun thesundaily DonaldTrump politicalpersecution witchhunt
Former US President Donald Trump sits in the rear of his limousine as he departs Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach, Florida, on April 1, 2023/AFPPix: A necessary step for some, a “witch hunt” for others: the historic indictment of Donald Trump has further entrenched perceptions that partisanship has cleaved the United States, with the former president at the center of the storm.
It is a perception that has not escaped politicos: the indictment is above all a “gift to the campaign managers and strategists in both major parties,“ giving them “an opportunity to stoke outrage,“ Robert Talisse, a Vanderbilt University expert on political polarization, told AFP. As the indictment was announced on Thursday night, with some liberals on social media mocking the “MAGA tears” of Trump backers, a small group converged outside the former president’s luxurious Florida residence to display their support and express their anger.
“But it is unrealistic to compare it to 50 years ago, when so many voices were silenced through discrimination and structural obstacles to voting,“ she added.
