What is it with Trump supporters not wanting to discuss policy without name calling

[Jesster]

I've noticed a similarity between the far-left and the far-right that applies to this thread.

Both like to make a LOT of noise, but neither of them are especially good at listening to other people.  Actual empathy, actually understanding other people's positions, it's so damn rare it's like a fucking super power.

I definitely agree that this is a common problem. I'd also like to add that it is far too common for people to label someone else as one of these two extremes simply because they are even slightly left or right wing on any topic.
