It used to be a fairly intelligent group but now almost all that is gone.

What happened and why?
I don't think it is just this forum. Right now we either Trump supporters or think he is a wingnut. Same could be said for Obama years. Everyone has a strong opinion about everything even if it has no impact on them personally. I do disagree that there was a period of intelligent give and take, I haven't seen that. The country needs leadership and there is none. Those are my reasons.
