There are attacks happening on both sides and it's really pushing us into a scary position as a country.

Both sides really need to take a step back and realize they're just continuing the divide. I'm personally against Twitter banning folks unless they're engaging in harassment of other users. It would be nice though if the platforms like Twitter and Facebook more severely punished those harassing others though.
