It is a known tactic of terrorism to enflame conflict.
Terrorists do this in Iraq, getting Sunnis and Shiites to masacre each other over the claim of who are the "true" muslims. Even when they know foreign-born terrorists set off a bomb, the resulting frustration at being unable to retaliate against those who actually did it, causes each side to lash out against fellow Iraqis.
To a lesser degree, I see the same seeds at work here on YA. Americans not just disagreeing with each other ... but Americans expressing open *hatred* for other Americans. The most recent thing is this accusation by each side, that the terrorists wanted the other side to win the election ... the terrorists did what they could to feed this idea.
In fact, they don't give a crap who wins, as long as the fight is nasty and bitter.
So, next time you find yourself launching acid at the "Demorats" or those "Repuglicans" ... back off. Debate ideas, don't attack people.
That's what Americans do. Isn't it?
