Yes, We DO Think You ARE Stupid

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

115. Since I am an Independent I can actually look at this dynamic objectively

Things have devolved so far that now BOTH Democrats and Republicans are just purposely going out of their way to piss the other side off. Trump's biggest appeal to those on the right is that the left despise him so much. Most of them aren't bigots or racists, know he's full of shit...but they know he's causing the left to be more upset than they ever have before. And the reason why they get so much twisted joy out of that? Resentment and anger. Neither side is innocent of wrong doing in this fiasco. The right bullies via intimidation and chest beating. The left bullies via shaming and attempts to make you feel guilty for not agreeing with them. It's opposite sides of the same coin. People agree on most core things and all want the same basic things...they want to be able to provide for their families, keep them safe, healthy and happy. Even the things people disagree on comes down to them holding different views on how to best meet those same goals.

Maybe rather than focusing on what people disagree on we all start focusing on the shared goals first and then discuss WHY each side things that goal is best reached their way. What I do know for a fact is that the majority of the comments I see on this site regarding this issue will only make things worse and will never resolve or improve anything.
