And risk hearing the opinion of a trump supporter? Just kidding. Really though, I hate meeting strangers and knowing there's a like a 1/3 chance they believe some pretty hateful stuff.

Most of the hateful stuff comes from social isolation, lack of emotional support and toxic relationships. A healthy social life could have prevented many of those people to radicalize into the idiots the are now.

That's one of Trump's biggest strengths.

20 years ago, people would call other folks on really terrible opinions, so the Right had to use dog whistles like 'law and order' when they meant 'string them up.'

If MAGoos knew that they'll have to engage randomly with folks throughout the day, they'd automatically rein in the crazy.

While you're on your phone looking at cat videos they're feeding each other's hatred.

Look at it this way; back in 2002 era folks were making fun of the overly decorated flag cars some 'patriots' were driving.

A vehicle done up full Trump style, with full size flags and a dozen signs, would have been a laughing stock.
