I am so sick of everything getting politicized.

9. See, I wouldn't have any problem talking with him about issues,

but I get really disgusted when "The Democrats" comes up. Right now, the number of deaths, the spread, the drugs, the masks or no masks, are all perfectly "discussable," without what "the other side" is doing or not doing, or how dumb they are, or whose fault it is. That's what I meant in the OP, and sorry if I wasn't clear.

I remember days when I could disagree with somebody (and granted it was the type of people I worked or went to school or hung out with) and still talk and try to convince the other one, and (HEAVEN FORBID!!!) maybe learn something or even get to see the other side. And politics never came into it, because we didn't talk politics. But nowadays, geez, it seems you can't talk about anything without getting into politics. Let alone disagree without getting personal.

Maybe, as someone suggested, the MSM has pushed us in that direction, and we've swallowed it hook line and sinker.
