Regardless of your opinion many of your responses are abusive and break community rules.
Anger and frustration over the political climate in the US is understandable but for someone who’s almost 50 you still need to work on your self control.
If you can’t engage in civil discourse then don’t reply to people, you only hurt your own cause.
The GOP wants to salt and burn the earth, many of our rights, and many of our loved ones for being who they are. Civility politics is no more virtuous than the sham of the model minority
I didn’t bring up the GOP or civility politics. OP is breaking community rules and being abusive to people in the thread. Even if I agree with someone’s opinion, that type of behavior undercuts it, regardless of the topic.
Some examples from OPs replies that I reported:
“ Profanity is the effort of a feeble brain to express itself forcibly.”
I get that the OP is being overly rude, but this:
is exactly what the person you're replying to meant by civility politics.
