I'd also like to point out I've seen a lot of people calling Trump voters racist, sexist, homophobic, fascists. Let's not pretend like there's something uniquely toxic about that place.
I dont understand. I've never seen any other political forum so filled with bullying and hate. No one is discussing anything. It is alarming because it IS uniquely toxic.
(disclaimer: I dont spend much time in any political forums. Can you link some if I'm wrong?)
Yeah, maybe I just got lucky? Maybe I have a higher tolerance? Maybe we have different political affiliations that make you more sensitive to it than me?
I couldn't find the specific comment I was referring to, I think they've had a ton of traffic from their users this week, for obvious reasons. I skimmed through and grabbed some posts that I thought are a decent selection of what I'm talking about. I don't necessarily endorse any of the views in the comments, but just want to point out that there's a lot of solid commentary in there too, not just memes. The point is, these aren't just a bunch of uneducated racist assholes, despite what the narrative would tell you.
