Killed by extreme liberalism and conservatism alike. Remember when the US invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and many claimed that by doing so we were actually creating more terrorists than we were killing. The idea was that we were actually radicalizing the middle east as we attempted to combat radicalization in the middle east. Well now that's happening in American politics. Both sides are dehumanizing the other with terrible insults and in doing so pushing more and more people out of the middle and onto the extremes. If only everyone would shut up and calm down. Sucks that it won't happen.

we still have sd and dougie at least

I don't think calling the president a racist makes his supporters more racist.

I don't either. But why did you say this?

What "terrible dehumanizing insults" are you referring to?
-
I mean, just, come on. Why? I made a good point. Why can't you just say "good point _33, very insightful" and move on? Dammit michigancat.

Very dehumanizing

I think electing a bigoted sexist bully reality tv star as President may also be a major factor

Agreed, the past 8 years has put enormous strain on the discourse in this country. Hopefully trump can begin to mend that. A lot of that will depend on the left.

It took the former to give us the latter

I mean, Jesse Ventura was a governor without social media

The OP was about the end of moderates, not just crazy weirdos being elected.

Oh, well, we haven't seen the end of moderates. Obama is incredibly moderate and wildly popular.
-
I consider myself a moderate 33. I've spent the last few days consoling lib fb friends and reassuring them that they'll be ok. Ugh V tiring. My Aunt (retired history prof., feminist leader, & Hillary rally organizer) who lives in Grand Rapids, MI has reached out to me to talk about national politics and how to begin healing the divides rather than making them deeper. I think a shift toward moderateizm would do that. Should be an interesting discussion p excited about it actually.

Well, the coon will soon be gone so racists like you can stop blaming him for your fellow crackers being all angsty about having to listen to the thoughts and opinions of a darkie.

You type this a lot and it's hilarious to me every single time.
-
These extremists could also have people moving back more moderate as they see extreme views either way don't get crap done

Nothing is ever his fault, is it?
Thanks for all 3 branches of government, obama! :lol:

Well, the extremists have the presidency, house, and senate, so I would expect them to get some stuff done.

I know you are averse to reading so you may not know that I blame him for a lot. It clearly isn't his fault that white people behave like they do towards him and whatever the state of race relations are in this country has nothing to do with him either, for better or worse.

"Race relations" suffered tremendously under him, and I can't think of a single thing "white people" did under during his term to damage "race relations."
I'm sure there's some psuedo-academic irrational talking point about "systemic" or "structural" or "implicit" or "inhetent" racism created by the monothilic cracker that says I'm wrong. Fact is, obama was and is a partisan hack who surrounded himself with radicals and who has always received an enormous pass, largely because he is blackish and a democrat. He made race an issue as often as he could, radicals were emboldened by it, he did nothing to stop them and in fact encouraged them, and here we are today.
-
One thing for sure. Barrack loves to hang with rich white people.
-
yup, it's the black guy's fault
-
I sometimes forget, that in the delusional and psychpathic mind of the libtard, white people are running around beating up minorities, women and gays, clockwork orange style.
Meanwhile, their fearless leaders line their pockets with cash from muslim theocrats, who opress, rape and murder women, gays and pretty much anyone who isn't in their religion.
-
Hillary really loved the guys who throw bound gay people off of 5 story buildings on to concrete slabs. Took millions of their dollars.

Agreed...i don't think the same extreme view is the majority in any of the branches honestly. Some of DJT's opinions aren't even right leaning.
-

Anecdotal for sure, but lots of ppl I know irl would never say the stuff they are saying on Facebook when in person. It def seems to be providing a battleground for a ramped up argument without the normal filter most would have when discussing such things.
-
Social media has allowed for mass dissemination of misinformation, right and left. That's not good and obviously contributes extremism. Particularly when you can filter out the misinformation you don't like.
-
Not the filter I was talking of

it also allows all views to easily find 'friends'....not that those # of people didn't already have those sometimes extreme views but it sure makes it more fun when you find a like minded left/right extreme person.
-
They should outlaw every social media cept message boarding. And then moderators could direct poster to boards that could enlighten misconception posters.
-
Social media seems to be a sacred cow that thrives on bbs hyperbole
-
I think it's probably cyclical like most other things. We're in a climate of ridiculously partisan politics, but I'll bet there will be a return to moderatism in the next 20 years or so. Most younger voters are registered as independent, and many took a third party's bid seriously this election. The soon to be establishment really doesn't like extreme partisan crap.

Also tend to be big echo chambers.

Some good points, but I think social media's influence on this election was negligible. The irony is that people like John Oliver probably assume based on their own circles and social media that most people agree with him, when the much simpler explanation is that most Americans just don't care who the president is, and among those who care, more legitimately wanted Trump.

Lots of wrong in here

Not surprised at all you think this.
