I know you're being provocative and I shouldn't take the bait but I just can't help myself. >"by saying both sides are equally bad and misguided..." I never actually said that. I said that people can be concerned "regardless of political affiliation." >"someone who fearmongers" Yep. You got me. I'm concerned about something and I think other people should be too. All I can say is that you should be less combative and you shouldn't snap to assuming hostile intent. Quite frankly it's off-putting and anti-persuasive. You would not enjoy someone arguing with you in the same way you argue with them. But I suppose if you enjoy interacting with others in this way there's no stopping you.
