In these fractious times, I think we're all very good at scrutinizing other side of the aisle, and not so good at self-reflection.

As a committed centrist, I am very good at fairly scrutinizing everything. /s

You joke but you’d be amazed at the Reddit front page. It’s hard to tell anymore if the comments are even people, but I have noticed many fake posts of some Trump tweet he never actually made getting traction.

It’s so easy to verify his public statements. Did he really say that? Just go look.

Yet time and time again people get baited into rage mode. It’s more satisfying to post than it is to do 30 seconds of research.
