Over the last 20 years when playing golf or whatever activity, politics was seldom if ever mentioned, but for the last 4-5 years there was never a game without it being mentioned, and the vehemence and hostility shown by either side of the divide was quite frightening in some cases.
How reason and tolerance can ever be restored I have no idea, but unless people decide to stand back and say, we have to stop this before it is totaly out of control, the unthinkable could become a reality.
Your wonderful community, and country, is tearing itself apart!

Again, I use my personal experiences, but when did politics become insulting, demeaning, accusing of so many facets of American life ?
Where in the world do people expect language like that to end ?
There is only one destination....it is inevitable, and that ending solves no problem ever.
We live with it each and every day....in your face constantly. Think about it.....that kind of rhetoric cannot have a satisfactory ending. If you are labeled and attacked or called names, are you to simply forget it ? How long do you keep quiet.
This is not political differences....
