Our culture, we don\u2019t eat the same breakfast cereal anymore. We don\u2019t read the same newspapers. We don\u2019t consume the same news. We\u2019re divided in every way, shape, and form&nbsp; in our culture, and thus it translates downstream into our politics.&nbsp;I personally think \u2014 and not that I\u2019m hoping, I\u2019m just an observer \u2014 but I think&nbsp;the United States is heading toward a breakup. It\u2019s already happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Shirley considered how external threats to the U.S. across its history, such as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, galvanized Americans of varying political orientations around a common purpose. Contemporary examples of such threats such as the Islamic terrorist attacks of September 11, he added, provided short-lived political unity.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThis country has always been about about division and compromise, and that\u2019s how we move forward. And so, really, December 7th and subsequent months and years is all about the unity of this country, which we\u2019ve never seen before, and probably will never see again. Even after September 11, unity of America fell apart after a couple of months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we started to erode, we started to fall back on our divisions right after [World War II]. The entry into the United Nations and the charter for the United Nations \u2014 which happened in San Francisco right at the end of the war \u2014 was met with sharp division. \u2018Shall we join the U.N. and become an internationalist country? Should we go back to being isolationists?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cWe\u2019ve gone back to being a divided nation, and I think we\u2019re even more divided today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Breitbart News Daily broadcasts live on SiriusXM Patriot 125 weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Eastern.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Craig Shirley, author of\u00a0, speculated on Tuesday\u2019s edition of SiriusXM\u2019s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that American political divisions will fracture the country within the nation\u2019s third century. &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1095741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1095741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/46"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1095741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1095741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1095741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1095741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1095741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
