I love those videos.

When they take quotes from Hitler and attribute them to the President.

Great! You can understand the point when you think you are degrading someone you are trying to make "an other"

Yeah, I do get it. I mean, I've only been hearing from the right "You're anti American" and other such nonsense for four years. I wasnt into politics until the right wing gave me the tribal ultimatum: "You're either with us or against us." I took one look at right wing rhetoric and was like "aight imma head out"

OK, I'm going to leave up my other comment in the spirit of owning my mistakes. I mean that making people into others is the problem, no matter what the side. Believing my side come floods or Hitler quote trickery is the problem. When Clinton got involved with the lumber industry dispute over the owls, neither side was thrilled with the outcome. That's what happens when a Rhodes scholar brokers a deal... you get a fair result that doesn't thrill either side but it frigging works! This partisan bull needs to go away.

I think it's like pandoras box.

Imagine having to put up with such toxicity for 4 years with a president joining in on the "fun."

I extended an olive branch in November. We know how that went down. It seems like the f**k your feelings party has a lot of makeup work to do.

I understand how you feel. I've been called a libtard and a nazi in the same day. Whenever I challenge anyone anymore, it's usually responded to with an attack based on 'otherism.' Something to the effect of, "You;re not part of my tribe so eff you and the horse you rode in on." When 8 was on the ballot in California, I was arguing the 14th amendment to dems and reps alike. I was never called stupid or attacked personally. The worst threat I received was that they would pray for me. Things have gotten really bad since then. Try to tell a republican that "my face, my choice" regarding masks is inconsistent with "you can't have a medical procedure that you want and your doctor can do safely" and I'm a fascist(!?). Tell a democrat that a third of democrats in California voted FOR prop 8, and the response is usually in the form of "more republicans are homophobes," which is correct based on the prop 8 voting record, but is not a rebuttal of the fact that so were a third of democrats when they stood in the voting booth.

I literally don't have the bandwidth to follow the minutae regarding the politics of other states. Some things I hear about, others I don't.

8 was the "marriage is only between a man and a woman" horse pile. It could not have passed without democrat support. My mantra for the fight was "8 equals hate"
