I’m not sure how bad things were … but having taken a couple of short breaks myself, participation seems to have increased. With that, (most) rightwing extremists have either developed their own playground or found one elsewhere.

Right now, there’s definite anxiety and stress being shone. I’m attempting to be more tolerant ..but am no more immune to it than the virus inducing it.. And, it’s a Presidential election year, so lots of opinions about that… Seems a wonderful place to air your concerns ..with about anything. Welcome back ~

No, I joined and its been going downhill ever since.

Interesting comment. Better than what?
