      I'm very wary of ppl of any political position who call others 'piece of shit' 'trash' 'garbage' 'scum' for having one they strongly dislike

      It's not so much the words themselves, tho I dislike rudeness, but the dehumanisation is so often not just rhetoric. A dangerous attitude.

      I understand calling someone names in anger. Not ideal but heat of the moment, It's a cold, casual rejection of humanity that chills me.

      At the drop of a hat, someone can designate another human being 'racist piece of shit' or 'leftist scum' & wish them harm & even advocate it

          Presumably you were talking about dialogue between more or less decent people with differing opinions. Fred's "fans" dehumanize themselves.

          He watches Ruben. He's a racist piece of shit. She voted Democrats. Marxist Scum. Casual dehumanisation of someone due to political side.
