    Remember: you're being manipulated into thinking that your fellow Americans are worse than is justified by reality. Knowing this, you should discount your intuitions accordingly.

        If I'm being manipulated it's by the people who show me they are the worst.

        The perception of "the other" was never balanced at the best of times. But recently, both sides' perception of each other has become a caricature, abetted by both sides taking quotes out of context. Typical Dem or Repub more average than NR or Mother Jones would have you believe.
