This, unfortunately, is what I’ve come to see as well. I was reading today the ‘other site’ which some people left here to create, and they’re actually making fun of Trump supporters as having ‘low IQs’. That doesn’t bear out my experience of the many very intelligent and eloquent supporters of Trump. It also isn’t very fair to the hundreds who have engaged in these discussions without ever becoming nasty, but have nevertheless been on the receiving end of unprovoked nastiness.
I cannot understand that people will take politics so much to heart that they become mean toward others because of it. It’s ridiculous, and very small. One would think that those of ‘elevated IQ’ would know better, and be too intelligent to succumb to the uselessness of ‘throwing rocks’ back.
