I continue to characterize my feelings toward Trump as bemused disgust.

I agree with the OP, and most times when I see a derogatory report about one side or the other, when I look into it I find facts have been either omitted, changed or spun.

And sadly once someone becomes a hater they lose the ability to see things objectively. Just talk to my ex-wife.

As the OP, and to clarify my stand, I am referring to two modes of hate.

The first is when a post(er) refers to the other other party with a slam. Not on a position, or on a particular issue, but in general. Those democrats think......
or the republicans are going to...........
Both of these are in my opinion a short sighted statement. The lack accuracy and specifics needed to hold any real value. My $0.02 worth.

The second, is the name calling. Thing like, TJ - your an ass. Or, JCricket, you are an arrogant sanctimonious prick. They may be true, but entirely non-productive. BTW - those are just example I made up.

TJ, I have to ask how you come to the appraisal of yourself that you have. I have heard you sate you have superior intelligence to most of the folks here. That we are lucky to have your presence. How do you justify these statement.
