Yeah they weren't doing that before so that must be what changed.
Lots of racist uneducated morons who haven't forgotten the butt hurt of the civil war.
Crazy people on both sides are the loudest and make it seem more divided than it is.
There's a lot of truth in this. Politicians, mostly MAGAs, have decided to sink into the gutter. Regular people see this lack of decorum and respect and think it's ok if they act this way too. Mix in social media allowing anyone to say whatever they want while hiding behind a screen and you get the mess that we are in right now.
People don't bother to listen to each other, therefor don't understand each other.
I think the other side of the coin is media outlets and influencers that have ill intentions.
I don't disagree, but would add that it is then up to the individual to realize they're being played. Most don't.
Right, I agree, however when you have media outlets claiming to be fair and balanced news spreading half truths into 70 million homes per night, it's understandable how it can get out of control.
100%. Just for laughs I once said on here if Kim Reynolds personally handed every Iowa citizen $20 some would complain it wasn't $25. I then proceeded to get bombarded with comments on why she wouldn't instead of why they would be appreciative.
Very divided on social media for sure.
Both register 200% on the idiot scale but think themselves register at 0%
That is still one of the weirdest and cringiest responses I've seen in my life
Ya, because we just got capitalism.
Moderates keep this country afloat
Uncle Joe Stalin says hello.
No need to insult Neanderthals.
I'll say the biggest thing is social media. That aside I work at a place where 2,000 workers pass through the breakroom. If politics aren't talked about (which is very rare) everyone gets along.
