I think this speaks to the emotional nature of humans in general.Against all my prior beliefs, the Internet made the world a worst place. People's reactions are more anti things than pro things. People being sick of things. People being against PC. People are against Hillary, against Trump, against religion, against atheists. If anything, I'm sick of people being sick of things. And then I feel sick with myself, because I'm doing it too.
We are much more prone to respond to things that poke our emotional responses then just our intellectual.
Everyone can explain how something makes them feel - whether the dress is black and blue or white and gold - not everyone can make an articulated case for what broken windows policy is and why it should end or what is the best detailed path to lower drug prices.
