I love how each side claims the other is lying and that they are justified in spreading the truth. This is why partisan politics are fucked to hell. Teams work in sports where there is a decided physical contest to determine the winner and loser. Politics is not about winning and losing though, and yet partisan affiliation makes it a team sport anyways. Now you have people gravitating to the closest center of influence (party) and using the human nature of prejudice to bash all others without even a consideration for the other side.
Partison politics teach us discrimination and prejudice.
