I truly cannot wait until the election is over.
I appreciate that we live in a free society that can express ourselves, and to be truthful I blame social media.
I have always had differing views than some friends and family and it was never a problem, since we all know most of the time one doesn't talk about religion or politics in a social setting (if one was brought up with etiquette). But with social media it feels like it is rammed down your throat.
And it is fair enough that people want to post about their thoughts about the debate or the upcoming election, but somehow it seems to create this seething anger -- like how can you be so stupid to think that.
And that is not a good way to think of your friends.
So yes I cannot wait until this election is over. I think due to the current state of this country people are more polarized then ever.
They created that app that switched out children's pictures for bacon, can't we do the same for political posts?

Politics and religion divide people so damn badly

This is why I vowed not to talk politics on social media until some point after the election. Some of the stuff that's floated through my stream has made it difficult to stick to that, but so far I've managed.
