How does it end?

I was looking over some of the comments out there on various blog sites this morning.  Wow, a whole lot of gibberish going on.  Insults flying, sarcasm unchecked, one-upmanship attempts… it really got me wondering, are we, have we become, a nation of imbecilic bottom-feeders or what?  Is this all/the best we got??  Do we have some psychological childish need to behave this way?  That it gives us some kind of goofy personal satisfaction?

We constantly feed each other this stuff; tit for tat, over and over.  And it’s not just your Everyman who does this kind of thing; it even happens at the so-called “highest levels” of discourse. Take yesterday’s bizarre comments by four U.S. House Republicans (see :20 to 1:02 mark)

Am I guilty of the same thing, fomenting discord, by even bringing this video up?  Does that also make me part of the problem??

Phrases like “normal tourists visit,” “not Trump supporters who were taking the lives of others,” “DOJ harassing peaceful patriots,” “no insurrection but a mob of misfits” really give a distorted picture of what we all actually saw happen.  How can we come up with two completely different analyses of the same witnessed event?  Who’s not seeing what?

Granted, a lot of questions there, and the gods know we’ve discussed this subject ad nauseam. But:

Q1: Where does this all end?  Does one side even dare to stop, which then emboldens the other side?

Q2: How to best handle the problem of childish gibberish, writ large, in the U.S.?  You tell me.

Thank for posting and recommending.
