People are losing it and becoming more ugly and inappropriate nowadays.
The words they use and the anger are nauseating.
It’s possible to convey their opinions in a normal civilized way.
I really wonder how people get so nasty and seem so unstable ?

You know Dr Ford is still unable to return to her home/job & has to employ private security due to ongoing threats from right wingers right?

Exactly. You used to be able to have a difference of opinion. Now it's pure venom if you don't agree with someone. Society has just completely broken down.

Wow!
That’s awful!
Yah , people are horrible more often nowadays and they’re from all areas of life: Conservative, liberal, moderate, all races , religions, nationalities.
I never heard a swear word from friends and family all the while I was growing up. ( and none of us were religious . We rarely went to church. We just knew better and we didn’t use profanities or personally attack anyone)
Actually, life was pretty calm and nonviolent until about two decades ago. Then suddenly I was hearing angry profanities from people and reading it Online.
It’s alarming.
