Chalking up fear from an attack on identity (an effect of bitter partisanship, fyi) as "well people who like trump are just DUM!" reads a bit like you are doing said thing.

I see insanely enthusiastic support and excitement for a blue wave. I also see an equally motivated white conservative paranoia mounting directly at that wave. The country is too divided, I simply don't have any faith in one side or the other pulling through.

I think the best (i.e. most entertaining) development would be Trump getting JFK'd by a crackpot radical. I just want to see what everyone does when partisanship starts picking up rocks.

It creates a political climate that makes legislation either more extreme or too vague to be enforced. The discourse normalizes emotion over understanding or logic. I think it's definitely making people more stupid and of course I'm not into the (slippery slope) idea of civil war.

Sandra Sanders is off the clock. She's with her family. Wilkinson doesn't want her money. She asked Sandra Sanders and her family to leave and they did. In this instance Sandra Sanders was the more mature person out of the two.

Even when Trump tries to do something positive they just can't help shooting themselves in the foot.
