Civil discourse....truly civil discourse.

@Mathis1 I'd like to see that, too. I remember when people could support different political candidates without one threatening to kill the other.

@AbbeyRhode I couldn't possibly agree more. There are those who are absolutely unhinged in their radical beliefs, and simply cannot engage in any level of discourse without personal attack.

@Mathis1 It's kinda sad, really. You'd think it would dawn on them that if they have no facts to back up what they say, maybe they are wrong.

@AbbeyRhode I see our national landscape deteriorating rapidly. I see the deliberate politicization of literally every aspect of life. And with it, I see increasing viciousness and incivility.

The primary and sometimes ONLY tool in some people's mental tool kit is the ad hominem attack. It's absolutely pathetic.

It makes me both mad and sad at the same time. 😑

@Mathis1 I have thought the same thing. With the pervasive influence of the evil, lying media, we seem to be devolving. The media is infusing a large portion of the population with fear, hate, anger, and prejudice. Their ugly example normalizes personal attacks, name-calling, threats and violence. They need to be held accountable for their lies and support of terroristic behavior.

@AbbeyRhode Again, I couldn't agree more. It's distilled evil, and they DO NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I believe that one of our VERY BIGGEST PROBLEMS IS THE FACT THAT.... because their evil is increasingly "mainstreamed" .... they are NOT held accountable.
