(9,497 posts)The growth of the emotions is due to being the top dog v the under dog. Neither likes the perceive traits of the other. One is the patronizing and the other is the rebellion.
On this site, the more we tangle, the more we don't like each other in general. We have really created the polarity. Out there as well, there is the meme that she is going to be our next president and the people who have a problem with it, hear it and rebel. Emotions get heated.
Just like every election. This is not new, this is not bad H supporters, bad Bernie supporters. Doesn't anyone remember 2008, 2000 or before. We duke it out. We have very different candidates vying for the top spot.
So I wish everyone would chill on the victimization, because that is the biggest thing that causes one side to dislike the other side. Almost as big as issues.....which is STILL NUMBER ONE for the emotions on both sides.
Whether it be the issue of electability v against the 1%.
