        I’m old enough to remember that this is what political discourse used to look like Yes, sometimes things got heated. Yes, sometimes it ended in name calling, especially with family members But we never questioned motives and, in the end, accepted we were all wanting what’s best

        Which is why colleges should allow both sides conservative and liberal speakers to be heard when only one side is allowed to be presented it's not surprising that, that is side believed to be true

        Over the last decade it has been the goal of American politicians to encourage everybody to engage in politics. Obviously this has been a mistake. When you force politics on an entire population, you are going to get a lot of mentally ill people in the political square.

        Everybody wants to point their fingers and place the blame on the common citizens who are politically incensed instead of the people piping red hot bs into their phones and TV’s 24/7. Whether it’s our teenagers on video games or elderly relatives in the retirement village.

        They, no we, don’t have any control over the mental manipulation that has taken place perpetrated by billionaires and wealthy media moguls at the behest of top level political figures. Is all they can do is blame, they don’t have the ability to accept responsibility.

        If anger is the first response to any view then something has to be removed from your own point of view... This is were we are now, no matter what lead with hate.
