Logic, reason, and objectivity all seem to be out of fashion. What we now have instead are emotionality, exaggeration, and partisanship. Rational discussion has gone out the door and instead we have people trying to silence the opposition. Actually it's even worse than that. The legal system is used to go after those who do not adhere to the dogma of those in power or who are able to pull strings behind the scenes. The result is bizarre witch hunts and fishing expeditions where individuals are targeted without a crime being committed. Instead of starting with a crime and trying to find a suspect, it is the case that a suspect is identified and then a crime is invented to charge the person with. It's hard to believe that this is the USA, the supposed home of the free and the brave. It's much more similar to some sort of dictatorship, where individuals must toe the party line or else....
