Ages ago, politics was a matter of “Well, we both want to improve the country, but it seems we disagree on the approach.”
Now, politics is “I would like to improve the country” vs “I would like OVER HALF THE COUNTRY TO GET FUCKED IN THE ASS because they’re all LEECHES AND FILTHY RATS. Just look at these studies that are all blatantly hallucinated lies I made up.”
I think this is just a difference on the form, and not on the content.
When over half of the country is actually ducked in the ass because of either poor working conditions, womens absence of right, slavery, etc., saying “I don’t think we should change anything” seems like a calm way to say “we disagree on how to improve the country” when really it’s just saying “i want people to get fucked”. Betterment, even little, of life for those people makes assholes say out loud the hate they could hide in the statu quo previously.

I long for the old conversation.
