Bizarre how only one political opinion is assumed to be appropriate and correct.
There is only one party whose national politicians and media outlets publicly peddle conspiracy garbage like:
* The birther conspiracy about Barack Obama
* Pizzagate
* Jade Helm, where, they claim, President Obama was preparing to invade Texas and force everyone into concentration camps
* Claiming the Sandy Hook elementary school mass shooting was a government operation
* Claiming the Las Vegas elementary school mass shooting was a government operation
* Agenda 21 - Imagining US citizens are being mass murdered by the UN for population control
* Claiming Sharia law is implemented in Illinois (ironically being pushed by Alabama Senate candidate Moore, who was twice removed from the a state court bench for forcing his religious views in the court)
The list goes on and on. After decades of spewing so much propaganda through right-wing media outlets like AM talk shows, Fox News etc, while simultaneously painting education or sourced information as "elitist", "mainstream media", the GOP has unhinged a huge section of their base and separated them from reality.
Most Democrats think people who voted for Trump did so because they are racist or sexist. That's it, no room for reasonable discourse when out of the gate someone is assuming the other to be irrational.
Most that I know, myself included, don't think that about people who voted for Trump. I do however think that voting for Trump makes you racist or sexist. Voting for Trump wasn't necessarily a result of it, but it sure was an indicator or turning point.
If you're 100% ok with an avowed racist and sexist being elected, you must at the very least be sympathetic to those beliefs and what's the difference at that point?
Inflaming divisions is ok?
Throwaway is appropriate for this post.
