I agree though that the political crap has gone way too far. The same small group of crazies began before Trump and went into overdrive after Trump.

The crazies have always been an essential part of GFY, however, I would call the past version a rather more pleasant distraction. There was a regular train wreck on parade and piss and that was fine and often very amusing.
However, if the same deranged lunacy repeats over and over and over and over and over in about 30 - 50 pct. of the threads online, by the usual suspects, and with a very predictable outcome - it becomes incredibly annoying.
