Good afternoon, Political insults are getting increasingly personal, widespread and intense – not just between candidates and their surrogates but amongst almost all of us at this point. Some friendships are shattering. Reputations smeared. Even formerly apolitical individuals are getting pulled into mudslinging. Another effect that is heating up political conversations is the rule of behavioral contagion to the third degree. From how much we eat to whom we hate, we are instinctively imitative creatures to a startling extent.
Hope this helped
