I've ALWAYS disagreed with using terms such a Republicant and Libtard. I never ONCE called Trump anything other than his name. None of this Drumpf nonesense. I will not call all of his supporters bigots. None of that helps anyone.
That being said, electing Trump has, if anything, made these behaviors even more socially acceptable because he himself engages in them. So we now have a big a-ok to act like a bunch of schoolroom children, without even the people at the top as better examples. So here we go guys, it'll only get worse. People are inflamed, and instead of an antibiotic, we chose to drink some toxin. Yum.
This is the thing. If the regressive left were actually "the bigger person", and didn't resort to the shit slinging themselves, who knows, we might have a different outcome.
While it was widely celebrated on this forum, I would be ashamed to be honest if someone I was voting for was labelling opposing voters as deplorable. I mean, if you respond in kind with that kind of negativity you're not looking to change minds. You're shooting yourself in the foot.
