Dwight D. Eisenhower (1957, Second Inaugural Address)
"We know that only in unity can there be peace, and only in peace can there be security and freedom."

When We Fight, They Win isn’t another partisan book pointing fingers at “the other side.” It’s not about proving one party right and the other wrong. It’s about something far bigger—and far more urgent.

For decades, Americans have been told to pick a side, blame a side, and fight that side. Meanwhile, both parties, politicians, donors, and media industries profit from keeping us divided. The truth? Division makes America weaker. Unity—real unity—is the only way we reclaim our power as citizens.

This book shows how:

• Both sides share the blame. Republicans, Democrats, politicians, and even ordinary citizens have all fueled division. Recognizing that truth is the first step toward fixing it.
• Division is a strategy. Outrage keeps us distracted, fighting over differences while wages stagnate, healthcare costs skyrocket, and trust in government collapses.
• History proves the danger. Nations fail when people turn on each other instead of holding leaders accountable. Democracy thrives only when citizens work together.
• Common ground is our leverage. On issues like wages, taxes, healthcare, and fairness, Americans already agree more than we realize. Change could happen quickly—if we stop letting division get in the way.

This is not a call to erase differences or pretend disagreements don’t exist. It’s a call to compromise where we must, unite where we can, and finally act on the values we share. Because only when the people stand together—above party lines—does real power return to where it belongs: with us.

Whether you’re Republican, Democrat, Independent, or completely disillusioned with politics, this book is for you.
