Indeed, it’s the primaries, but the level of vitriolic arrogance seems to be elevated.
The problem isn’t the Trumpets vs the Cruzers — that’s good fun. But we’re now seeing charges of intellectual inferiority, out-of-control emotions, blind ignorance to a liar, etc. And needless to say, that kind of malice is bad for morale.
Sometimes those charges are true. FR represents a diverse range of ability and fundamental honesty. It would be a mistake to insist on PC vs. each other on this forum.
I do agree that one can respectfully point out difference of opinion, but at some point, when sides become entrenched, discussion itself becomes pointless. Opposing sides have not exhausted their energy, so out comes crap.
