There's some science out there that shows evolutionarily, we are intrigued by things that get our heart rate up aka anger. And I thought it was a stretch but then I think about how all FoxNews, CNN, MSNBC, any political podcast, and all social media do is talk crap on the other team. They never say "look at the good that our team is doing!" Just "look at how rough ridin' stupid the people on the other side of the aisle are!! MAY THEY ROT IN HELL!!!" And people are addicted to it.
