re: #305 HappyWarrior

To expand on my above rant, people can’t even disagree anymore. It’s like your opponent has to be the most evil imaginable. No, one can’t even be an extremist, they have to be akin to the Nazis, Soviets, or give your pick of the litter of a truly evil regime. We’re always going to be a politically divided nation until people realize that disagreement doesn’t mean evil.

It’s difficult to imagine how things can get back to a more sane version of normal political disagreements. The GOP base seems determined to become more and more radical, and there is also a (largely justified) hardening of positions in response to this by everyone to the left of Attila the Hun.
