I really think the anti-Trump people are going to start losing their # and start killing people.
You keep repeating that. Are you working yourself up to something?

Yes, this has long been a feature of a two party system. But you're crazy if you don't think it reached heights never before imagined in the last 1.5-2 years.
No its been going on in its recent run since Reagan. It started to ramp up under Clinton and has just gone up from there. At least under Clinton and Reagan, both parties worked together to get legislation done. Not so much bipartisanship in that manner since.
That was the time things became "fair and balanced".
Im sure that's part of it. But Fox didnt get big till 1996. 1987's dropping of the "Fairness doctrine" probably had more impact. Thats what really allowed for the "Bubbling' factor for each side.
Now the two sides constituencies can listen to their own sides world view of events without being bothered by the other sides.

What's interesting is how the gap between the two gets larger and larger, yet the video doesn't explain why that would be. According the the eplanation video I shouldn't see dots moving, I should see lines getting stronger and weaker with bubbles getting bigger and smaller. It's almost like it's propaganda made to simulate a widening divide.
Woke up, read this thread telling me I have a mental problem for not believing a proven and proud liar when he says something..
Yup, no one praises the great lord obama.

Obama was superhuman and the perfect person to represent america. This is a wild belief...
Let me help you out here, you may not understand. No one thinks this. He had his foibles and the left doesn't worship him. I think what you are doing here is the exact opposite of what you are attempting. Trump IS looked at as near perfect, well he can do no wrong but you are stating that it's Obama that is...to liberals.
Trump Derangement Syndrome doesn't affect liberals, it affects Trump supporters. The left doesn't keep Obama in the news, the right does. There is TDS but you've got it wrong. There IS something you can do about it though. Suck it up and take it when Trump screws up. Stop obsessing about Obama. His time is done. The liberals have moved on. Catch up.

Obama derangement syndrome was a real thing, as a whole group of people sucked the teet of Brietbart and any other fake news outlet that fed them what they wanted to hear, whether it was true or not.
Meanwhile, with Trump, there are real investigations ongoing, and the guy engages in new asshattery practically every day. There is a reason why his favorability ratings are in the toilet.

I think you have very selective memory.
