Your comment is more representative of FR when I started here 20+ yrs ago.
I take that as a compliment. Yes, FR was here before Trump and will be here after Trump. Trump is part of our history but less and less part of our future.
FR is so binary now though. We've had huge battles now on the 2020 election, vaccines, Ukraine War, and Trump with little real civil discourse. Usually it is like the culture wars, you get cancelled if you don't publicly articulate a particular viewpoint regardless of how you actually think on the subject. A certain kind of conformity seems demanded, but I think it is turning the corner now as we move away from the mid-terms towards the big dance.
Even our election coverage here was not good this go around. I'm fearful that we have turned away some really good folks that know how to read between the seams of districts and which ballots are outstanding and who have people they can text to get real info. At this point I don't even know how the election turned out or is going to turn out. It's a black hole and that is a new thing for FR whereas in the past I would do my reading here to inform me of what was going on.
