I do think it’s getting worse. When I first joined, people still did research, and posted thoughtful analysis.
Maybe it’s just the silly campaign season, but most threads these days barely rise above “I know you are but what am I” level of rhetoric. It’s almost painful to try to read an actual “campaign” thread, because they seem divorced from reality.
But it spills over into any threat about anything Obama is doing, much like it has long been for anything any republican perceived as a RINO does. It’s like people are scared to admit that the world isn’t all black and white, that people aren’t either perfectly good or perfectly evil, because then they’d actually have to evaluate each thing they read for themselves, and not just post glib responses based on who the story is about.
That’s probably the best reply I’ve ever read on here, and gives me at least some hope for humanity.
