Don't like Trump, you are a cuck or a Libertard. Don't like Clinton, you're a racist or a mysoginist. It's freaking crazy.

I agree with everything you've said. It used to be that people were locked into arguing over the best solution for a problem which everyone agreed is a problem. Now the issues aren't even the point anymore, much less the solutions. It's all kinda troubling and it reminds me of Russia where people would just say stupid shit and then win by pounding their fist on the table the hardest and longest, winning not the debate, but simply a contest of wills.
