6. I think you should find a new media source

and perhaps a new hobby.

Some people seem obsessed with this Republican primary.

I have no paid that much attention to it, but I think it is absurd to compare Trump to Mussolini.

You note how Clinton was called a Marxist and liberals called demons from hell.

Well, the same things seem to happen on the left, particularly with the rise of the blogosphere and MSNBC. Leading Republican politicians are called fascists by our side, just like leading Democrats are called socialists by the other side. I remember 2012 when Mitt Romney was the most horrible person in the whole world, and conservatives, of course, are demons from hell.

It's the Jets and the Sharks all over again. Rival tribes, rival gangs. http://journals.democraticunderground.com/hfojvt/122

Seems to me that a lot of the violence at Trump rallies is coming from the anti-Trump protestors.

I think it is odd how my Republican friends try to demonize Hillary. They don't just want to defeat her, they want her to goto jail.

Sheesh, I don't like her at all, but she's not that bad, just too much like a moderate Republican for my tastes. Couldn't we find some way to do politics without demonizing the other side?

As they said in the 60s and 70s "We need to learn to live together, because nobody is going anywhere."
