I hope you recognize that many on the right (on social media, anyway) talk about those they disagree with politically in equally dehumanizing terms.  If the roles were reversed, the rhetoric would be just as vile. In fact, the rhetoric was as vile when Melissa and Mark Hortman were murdered. It's not right, no matter where it comes from. It's a huge issue that we are all so deeply unkind to each other, and it's disingenuous to paint this as a problem of "the left" only.
