The political people in my area act like children

Democrat, Republican, it doesn't matter what side it is. Everyone seems quick to get angry if you're not on their side. The Republicans get offended and yell. The Democrats get offended and start hitting people. I have yet to meet anyone in real life who wasn't crazy when it comes to politics, so I just say nothing when I'm asked about anything. Is it normal? I'm just talking about my area. Other peoples places might be different.

    Left-wing people are mentally weak, that's why they do that.

      Yes, and a more radical form of political intolerance is religious wars. Tragic as they are, I think it adds an element of interesting creepiness to have American drones and robots blow up religious radicals in various parts of the world. Video gaming culture has transitioned to real life. Just ask drone pilots that fly stuff over satellite data links.

        Good for them. I'm still not a fan of video games.

        Another thing about politicians is that regardless of whether they're liberal or conservative, moderate or extreme, or whatever the majority of them are crooked.

          I don't like video games either, but I feel relieved when I see real religious radicals getting blown up by predator missiles. Some people think war and peace are mutually exclusive. I don't. It's a continuum that includes tenuous peace with some terrorism, into limited military action, all the way into atrocities. When the really bad guys are occasionally blown up, pressure to escalate is lessened.

          Corrupt politicians (most of them are), is another problem that needs to be controlled. At least Hillary got her butt kicked. She would sell anything for one million dollar speaking fees to husband Bill.

          This is a depressing topic. Let's talk about something creepy instead. :-)

      ... minus the athleticism and choreography. Yeah, professional wrestlers are hella better than politicians any day of the week.

    This has gotten worse over the years and it actually isn't as bad in other countries. Imo 'the plan is working', it's a divide and conquer strategy intended to keep the public blaming each other, rather than the groups that are screwing everyone over.

    I think people need to take a step back sometimes. And I don't know why there's this need to define ourselves by aligning heavily with one particular political party. It's become this silly tribal thing.

    Yes, partisan politics has a way of bringing out the worst in people... while making them think that their very worst is the best there is.

    Heh . Singing Kumbaya and floating lit candles down the Potomac river won't stop ISIS. MOAB's do though.

    Anyone that has to get verbally/physically violent over different political opinions is just ignorant. These people are usually pretty narrow minded and cannot handle different point of views.
