It's going to motivate people to stay home or vote third party though, which probably helps Trump.

Ya'll better figure something out and fast.. You're fixin' to have another Trump Presidency..

Maybe you and Marty can put a couple of boots on your heads and go picket on some corner somewhere.. 

If I see ya'll out there, I promise to be nice and not laugh that much..

Maybe.  Why don't you try first and see how it goes?

Sadly, Biden and Trump are emblematic of where we currently are as a nation. Both sides have dug their heels in and refuse to budge. In the past, the wings of the parties eventually softened and a few decades of relative calm and normalcy followed. Such as after the late 60s and early 70s. The difference now is technology and social media which bring a constant deluge of political and social bias literally to the palms of our hands. There is no longer an escape.

This is all very new. We are on the cusp of a societal and political evolution which is reshaping global dynamics is ways we can only guess at. Hang on, everyone. The next 20 years are going to be wild.

Exactly.  Everything you said there is exactly right.

This is why I come here and try to calm y'all down.
Y'all post dumb click bait articles, I try to get you to see the context and calm down about it.

But you think I'm trying to argue for Democrats.  I'm not.  I'm just trying to argue for even headedness.

It's not just the demonizing that's hurting us.  It's also the constant petty attempts at humor.
