The problem is that in the current political climate, all anyone does is call the other party a stupid, intolerant, crooked bigot. People are calling Trump and his supporters intolerant bigots and then people on the other side of the argument call them crooked shills who are afraid of opposing ideas and are going to steal the election.

It allows people on both sides of the debate to shield themselves behind a persecution complex that prevents their ideas and actions from being examined. I think it's one of the worst tactics related to the extreme polarization of American politics when it comes to the death of rational discourse.
