Yeah true. But i feel the appeal to emotion seems more rapid with young people, social media etc. But i am not saying lack of brain is lacking, but considering how much ravidness of "not discussing issue is"

I think it's what happens when politics gets boiled down to a soundbite, a slogan or a button badge and there's a toxic political culture in which opponents aren't simply opponents, they're enemies, and they're not simply wrong, they're bad. Believe me when I tell you there's nothing uniquely either left- or right-wing about that kind of knee-jerk intolerance, bullying and appeal to crude emotion.

It usually resorts to huge internet echo chambers in a case. Not saying the right isnt guilty of this either, but i feel the biggest bully currently are the ones on the left since i feel they dont try to understand and are ironically creating more neo nazis that way. Bill Maher as much as i dont always agree with him on everything, he is atleast willing to talk sense or atleast attempt to discuss how much he dont agree. Which is different than to stand inside his pool and just call everyone who is not with him losers, degenerates, deplorables... and you know those stuff. No wonder why division is a thing now. TYT comes to my mind as mostly that on the left, aswell as late night shows. Right i just think is more about trolling it but their stance on issues i feel are wrong but that is just my opinion.
