I can relate to feeling this, YES, there are people that are abusive and it's true that when you ignore it and tolerate it these people can see that as a win for them and continue to manipulate, lie, gaslight, and practice their very toxic abusive behaviors. I am experiencing that challenge myself right now. HOWEVER, this is NOT something other healthier people do.

That being said, right now with all our technology and how much more exposure we get to the dysfunction taking place in our political parties right now, it definitely IS very toxic. Again, this is not an example of how "all" people behave. There are a lot of people that are choosing to tune all this out and reduce their exposure and focus on being productive in their own lives. There is a lot of narcissism taking place in our society right now, yet, the key is making it a point to distance from how much you are exposed to the "drama".
