Pretty much every time I see one of you post, you're calling someone nasty names, or spouting off some ridiculous conspiracy theory, or gnashing your teeth while stereotyping some group and declaring what scum they are, spittle flying from your lips while your face turns a bright neon red and your eyes bug out of your head.
Why can't you just talk calmly and rationally like a civilized person? Why must everything you say/write be tinged with rage?
Dear
John Shaw:
If you lump all Trump Supporters together this way, instead of addressing each person as a unique individual, one on one, that's part of the problem.
The ones "lumping all liberals together" as one huge "snowflake" storm make the same mistake.
When people on both sides "rant and rave" at each other "collectively as a group" that's what is causing this phenomenon. It's mutual.
If you want to see different, then let's remember to address each person individually, and break down this habit of attacking and blaming problems on "whole groups of anonymous people."
"WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS"
If we want people to take individual responsibility instead of acting on "mob mentality," we should address one another as equal persons and not as "just another member of a whole group."
Thanks
John Shaw

And if you want to understand Trump Supporters individually, I can answer with what I know among me and my friends who are Trump Supporters. I have as many friends who are Sanders or Clinton/Obama supporters, so I have had to address all these who project "mob mentality" on others while we strive to respect and address one another as individuals. Every person and group I know has this issues, especially with political groups that exploit and thrive on "collective" mentality. This can work for us, as in collective bargaining to protect individuals with the same issues or grievance, or it can work against us when we get divided into pools of people bullying each other instead of collaborating as "allies" in partnership, teams and cooperatives that can preserve the diversity while still allowing groups to work together. America is at the stage of addressing our diversity, especially politically, and this will likely invoke changes to our party, media and legal system that is adversarial instead of collaborative. It takes EACH of us to change how we see, say and approach things INDIVIDUALLY first; then together we can change how groups operate collectively. Individual comes first! Thanks John! I'm willing to work with you and ask your help to work with me.
