Both of these guys HHHHATE Trump. To a very irrational degree.

I saw some stat that said 20 years ago only like 15-20% of those polled admitted to 'hating' the other party.
A more recent survey came back as like 60%. Commentator went on to say, that is what is wrong with the country.

There is too much literal hate against the other party. No more civil discussions or simple arguing then shake hands and have a beer. It's like crazy ex-spouse hate level, can't be in the same room type of stuff.

It'll be a cold day in Hades before I shake hands with a damned Whig.

Next week be like

tragedy + time = comedy

Kyle simply forgot the "time" part of the equation.

Doesn't help that I could show you 3 minute long compilations of democrat politicians (along with media and celebs) literally calling for violence and saying very extreme things about their opposing candidate.

I do not want to start a political fight, but it is impossble to find the equivalent from leaders or influencers on the right. You just can't. It's lopsided. Trump is "Hitler" and "the greatest threat democracy and this country could ever face". They are still saying it, after his head almost exploded on live TV. Very dangerous rhetoric that you very rarely, if ever, see from leaders and influencers on the right.

Hateful, violent rhetoric spewing media, politians, and celebs toning things down and not demonizing and green lighting their opponent would go a long way to ratchet things back down imo. My honest take.

You can hate trump and his cronies and not hate all republicans, btw. But for some reason, any time anyone hears me say I don't like lord trump, they start making all kinds of accusations about me. Guess what? I don't like Biden either.

---

I get it, but many people hate him based on outright lies and exaggerations they have been fed. He is who he has always been...brash NYC businessman. But dem politicians, media, celebs etc will have you believe he is the biggest threat to the existence of this nation and many have compared him to HITLER LOLOLOL.

Big gap between that and just not liking him or his policies.

The internet and social media are largely to blame. People go online and find validation and reinforcement for their fringe beliefs from like-minded idiots. If you actually go out in the real world, most people get along pretty well.

---

90% of the population just wants to live their lives, earn a paycheck and take care of their family and friends. I have tons of friends with differing political views and we all get along just fine. Its the small percentage of hardcore nuts on both sides that everyone actually hates that have somehow also become the main representatives for each group.

I do think there is hateful rhetoric on both sides, but I just think that it's the victim in the situation who should be the one who gets to call for deescalation of rhetoric. Instead we have people absolutely responsible for some of the escalation of rhetoric now lecturing the other side about lowering it, as if the simple fact they are lecturing absolves them. It's pretty insane.

If Trump says let's unify, that's a great thing for the country. But Biden and the both sides of media giving these lectures about how both sides or even certain people are responsible is just sanctimonious and ironic because it's causing even more division. It's not your moment, shut up. Assuming unity and calming everyone down is truly your goal.

People are going to miss this ???



Good riddance.

I agree with double aught, the survey I saw proves to me it's not coincidence that 20 years ago is when social media was in infancy, and soon became part of everyone's lives.

Before twitter, texags and facebook and everything else, you had in person conversations with your friends, family and neighbors about heated issues or anything at all really, and it was likely civil. Now, behind a keyboard and monitor, it's way too easy to say things you would never say face to face. And so the hate was born, and now 20 years later, it's tripled per the survey. There is a decent chance that your tons of friends with different political views get online and argue about **** and say things that wouldn't be said in person. Not just political, but anything. I certainly feel I do, and try to make conscience effort not to.

But a lot of people do, and it's led us to where we are today. 60% of americans 'HATE' the other party.. without knowing anything about them other than they affiliate with the other party. That's a problem.

The internet has created safe spaces for hive mind mentality, and both sides are guilty of this, whether f16 wants to admit to it or not. Very little discussion of politics actually takes place. Instead, it's just giving each other internet high fives while coming up with the most clever ways to trash the other side. The left is probably more vocal, but if Biden had been shot at, you'll get a bunch of faux thoughts and prayers, while the first person that makes an anonymous joke gets 200 blue stars. Also, you'll get a bunch of people from the left screaming about right wing rage while the right says no, he's was just crazy. It's probably not really as bad as social media makes it out to be, but it's definitely the most toxic it's been in my lifetime.

The "tour" got cancelled, but it was pretty much already over. This was like the last 10 shows of 50.

They were getting asked/told to leave Australia, so 4 out of their remaining 6 international dates were not going to get played. Hanging around for 10 days to play 2 New Zealand shows wasn't going to be worth it.

The US dates they were returning home to do were part of a short "Rock the Vote" tour. After those comments, there's no way Rock the Vote was going to associate with them.

Please be honest (these are short clips and worth a watch).....is there even close to enough similar material coming from mainstream conservatives to make such compilations?

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9bP4s-M5ok

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9Zxho7OQP3

We are not talking about politically passionate online posters venting about the other side in their little internet bubbles. We are talking about DANGEROUS VIOLENT RHETORIC coming from the top...from mainstream democrats. Equating Trump to Hitler - and his followers to nazis...saying he's the greatest threat to this country/democracy...outright calling for violence and destruction...could go on. None of you moderates or leftists are able to own this and FOR ONCE say "you're right, one side in particular really needs to quit this type of rhetoric, it is inciting and dangerous". Nope, it's always "well both sides do it". NO THEY DON'T. Prove me wrong.

Where these vids from the right? Is right wing media and big tech suppressing them? What gives?

Oh yea, ONLY the left does that.

Stand by my statements. Watch those two short and entertaining videos. Republican politicians and media have never engaged in that type of rhetoric towards Obama, or any other dem president. You'd see highlight reals if that were not the case.

I know, you want to believe all sides always do the same bad things equally. It's just not true.

I'm done here, clearly some can't be reasoned with and just admit that their preferred leaders, media and celebshave been spouting dangerous, inciting rhetoric for 8 years.

Have a good day. I tried to have a discussion but we can't because not everyone acting honestly and in good faith.

This. Should be easy to find high profile republicans telling their followers to get in the face and confront any Obama cabinet member they see in public. To start uprisings all over the country. That Obama was tearing apart families at the border and putting little kids in cages (the exact same border detention protocols went on undeer Obama) etc etc

We would have seen these a million times by now though. Now is the point where they will find one or two outliers that don't even rise to nearly the same level or magnitude. But even if they can find republican leaders encouraging violence and destruction, it's not to NEAR the same degree/frequency.

Clicks on political thread, gets mad at political discussion.

I could not care less, either way. I would respect them more if they just stood by what Gass said. I know they both believe it to be true, as do the majority of that party. You don't spend years comparing a guy to Hitler, as well as calling him an existential threat to Democracy and this country, and not want that to happen.

This backpeddling by so many is either cowardice, or proves they are just full of *****
