Unfortunately true! Reasonable people can disagree without screaming.

That's right... Too bad that the reasonable people today don't get any press/social media. The press goes for the loudest screamers, and blows up their significance way beyond what it is actually is... I think that the finger points directly to the media here. What say you?

t-rump has that extremist attitude for sure...he can only react with a plus or a minus...compliment or insult...it is a mathematical fact that 'opposites' are a losing strategy...that's why he keeps changing topics...he defeats himself all the time...his base will just ignore that

Surely Trump is an extremist, and so are Al Sharpton, Ilhan Omer, AOC, Ayana Pressley, Corey Booker, et al. As Kim said, it sure would be nice if everyone just simmered down and worked to solve problems. Dream on, eh?!! :) gw

His words are too much, yes, but many on both sides have the same problem. If we could all simmer down the rhetoric and solve problems...

Me, too,... as far away as possible from these types! Thank you for your always-perceptive comment, and for all of the support. Deeply appreciated, Sandra. Best wishes, gw
