Why do people get so upset over politics and act like jerks about your opinion?

Because the corrupt elite, through social media and other outlets has us conditioned to be toxic towards everyone and everything we disagree with so we're fighting each other instead of coming together and overthrowing the corrupt elite. Toxicity exist on both sides and it's by design. When I first got into politics, you could discuss differing opinions without getting toxic, could even joke around about having differing opinions, now simple disagreements turn into toxic smear campaigns. The toxicity accelerated after the the 2016 election.

This country has been getting more divided over the last 20 years.
I do not think that liberals know what they want. All they know is they hate President Trump.

Most of the Republicans on this site just delete my opinion when you say something they don't like. Precious little snowflakes they are to be unable to handle opposing viewpoints.

The nature of the beast in modern times. Behavior is usually mimicked. When you have a poor example in the oval office it will only get worse.

Demo-rats do because they can't obey the laws in this country their consumed in power and greed. Republicans are more calm people we don't resort to violence to prove our point.

Lack of respect and lack of patience/tolerance.
Everyone want others to accept their POV,

Exactly, I wonder the same, if they don't like it, they should ignore it.
