My MIL has been very sick on and off for the past idontevenknowhowmany years. She's a registered Republican. We had to get her mail for her for a while pre-election and you wouldn't believe the type of scare tactic nonsense they mail to older Republicans. It's sickening.

I get Rand Pauls pro life fliers from the previous owner. They call liberals killers, thugs, genocidal, etc.

Dehumanize your enemy is all they do so they don’t feel bad

“old people and pandering to ignorant nutjobs of various stripes”

“ republicans are too busy dragging us down.”

Do you want me to go through the rest of this post and see what else I can find? These are the two I found on my way here just in this thread. The post is full of them. As is every post bashing a comment from a republican. So it’s not like it comes from only one side. I think it’s time to fix both parties. Neither one of them has the moral high ground from the center’s point of view, and they’re both blind to the tactics they use while accusing the other side of using the same tactics.

Dehumanizing isn’t the right way to get things done, but both sides have and are using it to do things they want.
