When my everyday life is no longer impacted by politics, I'll be able to put it aside for a day, because I'll be able to ignore the impact politics has on me for that day.

But that's not the world we live in. It won't ever be the world we live in.

Not having a dog in this fight, what it really looks like to me is the “haters” started as people who respectfully acknowledged his greatness while also recognizing that there were aspects of him they didn’t like. The real hatred came out when people couldn’t handle this due to sharing a political identity with him.

Except you're not being objective.

Accusing anyone of "falling off the far right cliffs of insanity" is a subjective and negative portrayal.

e.g., I could say and get away with the former, but not the latter when critiquing a co-worker's idea.

Adams was the one who refused to put his politics aside, this thread is simply a reflection of that.
