If you only see issues with the rhetoric used by a single side of the political spectrum, you are drowning in your own team’s Kool Aid and are part of the problem. As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. The discourse in the U.S. has degraded to the point that it’s unrecognizable, and there are plenty of anecdotal examples of people from both the right and left abandoning principles and ceding the high ground. Anyone tempted to respond to me with “what about....” or “but _____ started it” or “ ______is worse”, save it. You’ll just end up sounding like a grade schooler and making a fool of yourself.

WTF are you [i]rambling[/i] about? If you match the question with the inserted image of text, the [b]entire[/b] point of this thread is what-about-ism. I’ve addressed the entire point, tone, and tenor of this post without shame.

The only point I made here was about the degradation of discourse in this country, so I guess wanting a return to substantive and civil discourse is now “America hating”. Good to know. 🙄

You haven’t made. Single substantive comment on this thread. Why don’t you try that and see how it goes? @SW-User

Just to recap, this is the so-called question as it was asked by the OP...

Then, the OP includes a list of awful things done and said by people on the left.
Hence my response....

The initial post was nothing more than a what-about-ism. I addressed the what-about-ism. That was the substance of the initial question/post, and my response addressed that. Far be it from me to train you or the OP to ask better questions, but if you or the OP want a different response, ask better questions.
Was I clear enough [u]that[/u] time, or should I draw pictures?
