I just watched this flame war unfold, over a post made by a page called "Democrats,' on facebook, saying that "Democrats" had unveiled their new (rainbow colored) logo, @
Jinsai . The comments almost IMMEDIATELY devolved into "Obama is a Gay Muslim" memes and shit, and vile name calling from both sides.
And it didn't look like anyone stopped to consider that the Democratic party doesn't have a Facebook page called Democrats, where they unleash their official logos.
I can't seem to shake the feeling that the trump phenomenon, and the ultra tribal bullshit, and the death of unbiased news, and the spread of fake news, and the ease of arguing online in real time: it's like, all this shit together, with trump, makes me scared that trump is seriously the fucking harbinger of the end of the U.S.
