Extremism of any kind is detrimental to progress in uniting as a country in addressing the most important values and interests, which republicans and democrats CAN agree on! Food, shelter, health, law enforcement, the basic things necessary for a functioning society. We need to decide what's really important, the health of our country's population, and have the patience to collaborate towards solving important issues. Rather than turning every possible debate/protest into degrading each other, using labels that dehumanize each other, being unable to value a human being for something other than a political pawn, we must have the patience to discuss our issues humanely. To stand up for our beliefs WITHOUT violence. Otherwise, we're at war in our own country! Can we not have basic respect for one another despite differing opinions? So yes, in this respect, Trump is stoking the fires. Truth be told, he is not alone in that!! Again, extremists of any kind are only able to see the world from a shielded standpoint, from a point of offense! At the mention of "right" or "left" people attack one another. This has to stop!! We are NEIGHBORS and we must fight TOGETHER. We must have RESPECT. We must have honor and think of all the bloody history that brought us here!! We are ALL here whether we like it or not!! We CAN work together.
Personally I think consumerism is destroying the world.

@lovelywarpedlemon I totally agree, but I do worry that racism has become so ingrained, it will be difficult to bridge the gaps that divide us.
@samueltyler2 I'm scared for our future.
