It is impossible to be a good citizen and not participate in political discourse. Wether we like it or not, the actions of politician affects our lives, so it's in our best interest to be informed on the issues and partcipate in the political process; voting at the very least.
What I find distressing is the way society thinks you either need to agree with someone/something 100% or you are an enemy of whatever camp they belong to. As adults we should be able to hold competing and contradictory ideas on a multitude of topics AND we should be able to accept that others may not agree with us. The loss of that ability is what is disheartening; not politics.
Given current behaviors and social norms, there are times with I think all of America is suffering from some sort of mental health issue!
