Continued mistrust of government's motives and their neglect to uphold our laws and lack of support for our constitution and bill of rights.

Definitely more divided. With how much legacy media lies and stirs people up with fake info, I'm not surprised. I can't wait until legacy media gets canceled and we can start having conversations again.

I am looking forward to the 2022 midterms when Republicans take the House and Senate. I hope they have no mercy on the evil and corruption in our current government. The democrat rats are leaving the sinking ship by the dozens.

The Democrat polling numbers are sinking like a rock every day that Biden is in office. I say it will be a landslide for the Rs.

Because the GOP leaning folks tend to invent their own reality when logic, reason, and science disagrees with their demagoguery.

Lets be clear it was definitely NOT an insurrection or coup attempt! And why are the 500 plus riots in Portland, Seattle and other big cities, investigated and tired and jailed for burning police stations and so much more, they were slapped on the hand and let go! Antifa was Was parrt of D C riots.

If there's any doubt about how divided we are, read some of the claims in this forum then compare them to facts.

Everything is political these days. Even the virus is political. Nothing about the virus should be political.

We have a party system. We will always be divided as long as we stay with our current government system. And as Americans we are too stupid amongst ourselves to overlook differences.

What a question. Of course, the country has become more divided because some really ignorant, and just plain stupid individuals who believe the bullshit put out by T. This country is deeply in peril and those who support his lies do not even realize what they are doing to contribute to it.

I am glad that we were Blue over all on the West coast. Those flyover states have too much say.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

If it weren’t so maddening, our City counselors would make for a cast in a Monty Python show. They befuddle themselves with ludicrous ideas and foist them onto the taxpayers. Bend is becoming a laughing stock to outsiders and a source of continual angst for the residents.

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

A roundabout's primary purpose in traffic management is to improve safety and traffic flow, resulting in less congestion and fewer accidents compared to traditional stoplight intersections. Key words: Flow, less congestion and Stoplights. Now they want to add Stoplights!!! City waste at its Best!

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs
