Overall the discourse is very angry and agressive. I get that people are stressed, scared, angry and frustrated, but the number of times people go from 0-60 in 1 second over a political difference is wild. And I’m not talking about “full on Trump supporter” or “ICE is saving America” differences. Like saying “I hate that that Democrat said that he doean’t support trans women in sports but his opponent is literally a Nazi…” will get you dragged to hell. Hell, I’ve seen Canadians snapping at people in political threads, so I know everyone is well past their breaking point.
I don’t fuck with comments much on other sites/apps so IDK if this is a Lemme problem or an everyone everywhere problem.

I have the “oh so you hate waffles” meme saved for use around here.
