I have been perusing the stories and questions posed by friends of mine on here and I noticed in one of a political persuasion that some people were attacking my friend because they support Trump, what I found interesting was that these people condemned Trump because they feel he is mean spirited and because it is wrong for him to attack the media, they called him a bully. Then they started attacking my friend calling him stupid, calling Trump stupid and basically referring to anyone who does not agree with them as idiots. When my friend made a statement these people insisted he post links to "evidence" which he did, they then condemned the sources as untrustworthy. Has anyone noticed that if a source says something you disagree with you automatically call it an untrustworthy source? This in my opinion is why America is a doomed nation. It has nothing to do with the current occupant of the White House, it is solely due to the fact that the American people have become locked into their personal vision and ideals and will not consider negotiation. One must give a little to get a little...this is true of both parties not just one or the other.

Republicans are so frightened by the rapid change sweeping through the world they can't even see the truth in front of their face and just plug their ears and cover their eyes while nodding in agreement with everything their compatriots say.

Democrats are so wrapped up in their feelings and concerns they seem to be largely incapable of looking at the bigger picture and seeing things objectively and much like the Republicans they too are suffering from a plague of groupthink.

Both sides have gone off the deep end in their own ways that hold some definite similarities.

@Brando: I could also post quotes from NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, former NY governor Ed Koch and San Diego police chief William Landsdowne as well as a statement by former Attorney General Eric Holder calling for banning all guns. So yes, there are democrats calling for just that. I would also agree that there are some republicans who actually support this idiotic healthcare bill which will not work.

@UndeadPrivateer: I must respectfully disagree with you that the "touchy feely side cares more about the lives of real people". Neither side cares about the American people, all either side cares about is getting re-elected. Everyone thinks the republican plan helps the insurance companies but I would argue that the ACA plan helped them more. The republican plan removes the language forcing people to purchase insurance, the ACA requires purchasing insurance if (in the governments opinion) you can afford to do so, the insurance companies would benefit greatly from this mandate especially since there is no language limiting what the insurance companies can charge for said coverage. I use auto insurance as an example of what happens when there is a mandate, at one time auto insurance was cheap! Since it has become mandated in all states the cost has skyrocketed!!! I personally think on the healthcare issue both sides want to eventually come to an agreement on a single payer plan, I personally don't think this is a good idea but I also don't see any other way of providing healthcare for all citizens. Worst part is that this would put thousands of people out of work in the private sector, we never stop to think about the impact on the people on the lower levels of the insurance companies, sales people, secretaries even down to the janitorial services people. Once the government takes over healthcare completely and puts some of these insurance companies out of business they will all lose their jobs.

That is why political conversations are really frustrating, especially online. Everyone has their own opinion, that of which no one is willing to even see the other side. I do frequently see liberals bashing conservatives because they support someone who is a bully etc., in such a mean spirited way, that they are no better than the man they condemn. Several years ago, I saw conservatives bashing liberals for Obama in such a similar fashion. It is a cycle that is stuck on repeat.

@Bubbles: I have many civil discussions with conservatives. Trump-heads aren't conservative, so it's difficult. I'm not a liberal, so that helps me keep it civil,too.

Politics has become a sport. If you aren't on my team you are not only wrong but evil and stupid. It's sad.

@FreeSpirit1: like a bunch of guys playing football...they don't care about anything or anyone...they just want to win the "game"

Brando

He is a disgusting bully worthy of complete contempt.
