I agree. I had a conversation last night trying to remember if any other time in recent history was this bad. GWB was compared to Hitler quite a lot on the fringe and MSNBC, and Obama had the whole muslim/birther thing on the other fringe and FOX, but on whole most people were pretty level headed.

I wonder if social media, where you gain followers with extreme comments, has led to this? My FB feed is story after story of either Trump will launch nukes his first day in office or the terrorist will take out the US on Clintons first day. The hyperbole just drowns out any rational argument.
