I'm starting this thread because of what I'm reading on this forum about the US political landscape, and the reactions I've had when trying to discuss it.
I have been roundly insulted and attacked by the Democrats on this forum, and also kicked out of the Trump Conspiracy thread, twice, and had most of my posts removed from there by the mods.
The reason for this seems to be that, as a non-American, I simply don't understand the situation well enough to be able to make any kind of comment or contribution.
OK. Fair enough.
What I'm going to ask then, is that the Americans on this forum help me with this. Educate me. Please explain the horrible mess you're making of your country.
I'd like this to proceed in baby steps, if you don't mind, so I know I've got my head round the first part before moving on any further.
If that's acceptable, then I'd like to begin:
Right now, it seems to me that the Republicans think the Democrats are evil communist baby-eaters who hate America and Christianity.
On the other side, the Democrats think the Republicans are "barking, frothing at the mouth, swivel-eyed loons who simply want to crush anyone who fails to worship their chosen leader": irrational, racist rednecks, incapable of reason or compromise.
Each side hates the other with a passion. Each side thinks the other is evil, and represents the worst of humanity.
I do not recall this being a feature of earlier American politics. Thinking back to Bush Sr, Clinton, Reagan and Carter, I don't remember the debate being cast in these terms.
So, here's my question: has it always been like this? Have you guys always hated each other this much?
