  To be fair, both sides are acting somewhat unprofessionally in this story. This. I think the whole "longer lever to move the boulder is to do this in public" is a very very bad trend. Posting stuff like this is inflammatory, on both sides.

    Based on recent electoral trends from around the world, this sort of engaging spirited behavior may be exactly what consumers want.

      That would be a belief that market behavior delivers optimal outcomes. If you instead think that market dynamics can deliver very bad results, this makes sense as an example of it: sure, consumers like seeing it, but it's not helping and the consumers are wrong to think it is.

      Some consumers. I don't believe a majority, but enough that as a win-at-any-cost strategy it works. The majority actually loses in this situation. This is destroy the opposition not grow the market.
