Please name these people, ac, so that the rest of us who legitimately oppose Trump don't think you're smearing us too.
ML - I hope I can express this properly. I'll try - I think this is where we go wrong, by responding to these attacks.
The pattern goes something like this: poster A says something that is fairly neutral or maybe even openly critical, but not necessarily in support of poster B's chosen candidate.
Poster B comes on and accuses poster A of nefarious intent, and inevitably more B's come in and pile on. Then those who perceive the piling on as unfair and counter-productive start defending poster A, or add to the piling on. Which creates more negative energy and invites more piling on. For &$%^$^ page after ^#%#^ page!
There are always a few thoughtful and intelligent comments in amongst the crap, but they tend to get lost in the crap. Or, even worse they tend to become the focus of the incoming crap. Now, the person making the on-point and effective comment becomes drawn in and responds to the crap. Which generates another round of crap, ad-hominems, and general bad behavior.
We've got to start doing something different.
