Indivisible: Healing Hate

Yes the imagery of January 6th implies that Trump was behind everything. But the rest of the reviews here are obviously written by people who stopped watching after that. There is plenty here for conservatives to cheer about. The FBI comes off looking dreadful at Ruby Ridge and Waco. The media is seen to over-reach and mislead. Even Timothy McVeigh is portrayed as having been disillusioned by a government that betrayed him, albeit with terrifying results. It is definitely worth a watch wherever your politics lie. Hollywood will bend the facts so that the nuance is anti right. But if you think they got away with it this documentary you weren't paying attention.

Pretty good. Sadly my family went through this once they started watching Fox News and started believing what they saw. I wish they would watch this, so they could see how they come across. The rating are misleading, if you review the 1 Star ratings you will see one gave the Thanksgiving Day Parade 1 Star for not representing enough "Christian Values." The documentary Day of Rage: How Trump Supporters Took the U. S. Capitol, has much higher ratings, but is the same subject matter.

Most of the reviews on here reflect biased outrage by a population of individuals who are unable to perform critical thinking and confuse facts and opinions. The low rating is itself a symptom of the division this show highlights. The fact is (and verifiable primary source research supports) never before has a political party in this nation explicitly endorsed violence, no matter what the memes and cartoons flooding your timeline suggest. This documentary chronicles the history and lineage of hate groups that led to January 6th. It's a difficult and deeply important story to hear if our democracy matters to you.

This documentary does a good job of recounting actual events that have happened since the 1980s. When you're living through events it is hard to keep up with all the incoming information at the time. Looking back on these events gives you a good, self-drawn perspective on how these events have shaped our lives.

Don't listen to the nay sayers about this docuseries, it's worth a watch.

Part of the fundamental problem in today's society is we seek out confirmation bias, almost as a lifeline to our own sanity. Which explains why there are so many polar responses to this mini-series. You can infer the political party of the critic based solely on the number of stars given. 10 Stars = Democrat, 1 star = Trump Republican. Make no mistake about it, their political views cloud their opinion.

But for those of us that might not think of our party as the absolute epitome of morality, or are independent, the absoluism can be a bit less convoluted.

The series begins with telling the tale of an ex-skinhead trying to make sense of his past, one that saw him utterly fail in his hate crime against a synagogue where he was arrested and sent to jail for his crimes.

Throughout the series it returns to his disillusionment about what being a part of the arian nation means.

In the meantime it weaves national news story after national news story that have entranced the country for years, and examines how they are connected in a fundamental way that even the participants might not fully comprehend or understand.

It examines how the flow of news we choose to to view shapes our very understanding of the story itself.

It manages to string together a narrative of wildly diverging stories from the past several decades into one that actually makes sense.

It is a good examination for those looking to understand the events of Jan 6 beyond simply a coup attempt by Trump.

It examines what Trump was tapping into and relying upon in his attempt, and it's much deeper than him simply attempting to usurp power.

The journey is well worth the time to explore.
