John, the anger you see here is just a reflection of that which exists nationwide. Frank discussion is allowed thanks to Free Republic for all to see whereas the anger elsewhere is cloaked during polite discussion amongst friends and co-workers yet is still just below the surface. If this war between supporters is unsettling, imagine the angst that is out there in the world of Walmart shoppers, oil and coal employees, manufacturing employees effected by most favored nation status nations like China, offshoring customer service functions and on and on.
Like those laid off after 31 years of employment with their job moved offshore(Eastern Europe).
