If we could just figure out some way to let all the crazies kill each other without taking down anyone else.
We have vilified political affiliation far too long in this country and it has become scary. Differing ideologies have always existed, and empathy used to exist as well which allowed for logicial discussion, however it is the relentless bombardment on the country by cable news and social media that these different viewpoints from your own are "dangerous" and "a threat" that is risking tearing the country apart. When people refer to members of the other party, you have begun hearing a certain disgust in their voices that sounds as if they are describing an enemy state, not their fellow Americans. We have made members of political parties enemies and by association anyone who thinks similarly, which has given a large portion of the country a societal "license to hate". This hate is illogically festering and is about to boil over, and I think it won't just be reserved for the farthest corners of each ideology.
