It seems people get worse all the time too. Back when I used Face Book, I actually had friends who chose to "unfriend" me when their political candidate did now win. Then they would say backasswards things like, "I'm not upset because Trump won, I'm upset because Hillary lost!" Man. I miss the days when people weren't so stupid about it.
I think everyone saw this meme as taking sides. My point was both sides sling the personal attacks. Its hard to swim in the political seas, what with all the snarks.
