Personally, I think what’s getting VERY old is the constant personal attacks on people simply because of who they support.
We can support whomever we choose. Other people are free to disagree. But as for me, turning that disagreement into a personal attack is guaranteed to do only one thing: Strengthen my support of Trump, and make me dislike the attacker.
The same goes for supporters of other candidates. Attack the poster and you lose the argument and create an enemy at the same time.
It’s perfectly reasonable to disagree. You might even persuade someone if you respectfully articulate why. But you will never convince someone by attacking them.
I’ve never seen it this bad before, and not just on this site. It’s all over the Internet. I have to think it’s being fomented by paid operatives whose sole mission is to anger and divide people.
Well said.

Should be the #1 post on every political thread as a reminder to all FReepers.
