Despite our differences, we still used to respect one another when it came to politics. We may have disagreed on policy and such, but we were all still brothers.
That changed when Obama was elected.
The conspiracy-oriented mindset became mainstream Right Wing and all bets were off when it came to finding ways to delegitimize the political opposition.

Big deal, McCain was too scared to be labeled a racist to say anything bad about Obama. Trump would have given Obama a nick name and hammered Obama with it, like absent Obama because he was rarely ever showed up in his Senate Seat to work.
The hatred and vitriol you saw with Obama was a reaction to the LIberal response to Bush. They were untenable during the Bush years.
And now, with Trump, its another step further.

I bet you have never once mentioned misogyny by a republican..
In fact I bet you will argue that the “ feminist misogyny in America” assertion is fake..
Maybe I’m wrong..

Trump and his supporters deserve every bit of grief they receive.
It's not a matter of politics. It's a matter of basic human decency.

It gladdens my heart to read that, it truly does. It proves that absolutely no lesson was learned in the aftermath of Hillary's "Basket of Deplorables" slur. If there's one thing in modern politics that galvanizes the opposition rather than swaying them, it's hyperbolic insults. So please, continue strong.
Come off it, a bit of fair play...you people are not politicians he is.
If you actually listen to the very end...ahem! you hear MCcain saying that as a politician he has fundamental differences with Obama period.
