It's like this every election. A small number of people affect the tenor of the forum. First trick is not to take it personally, next trick is to realize that they are setting a reputation for themselves. I'm slow to write people off as irredeemable boors, but FR has a few, and you should not be unwilling to write certain posters off. Scroll right by.

The tenor here will change in due course. Happens in EVERY election. Fewer than 50 posters "poison" the place while they vent their spleens.

Noted that there are 12-14 posters who were last on FR 5 years ago or more ... They seem to only post during election cycles.
