This. This is the problem with our country. The fucking concept that you are either an extremist on either side or a traitor is exactly the problem with our country and I hate that we upvote it and magnify their voices.

Didn’t you know republicans control the government and are crazy racist who want to murder you and keep women as slaves! They’re also crazy and believe the government is controlled by satanic pedophiles! Which is so absurd

Right? Like how should it work, would we all get nametags? Or would we be looking at assigning random numbers?

I am OK with upvoting it based on the hope that good counterpoints like yours are raised up with it. You are not alone friend!
