The 2016 election.

But to digress from constant tongue-in-cheek ranting which is probably my best outlet for general frustration with this mess, this is bad and has reached the point where family functions are actually terrible if politics are discussed, which they always are. My aunt went on a nice little rant about healthcare and how she doesn't remember going to school with anyone with severe allergies and cant understand why an epi-pen being astronomically expensive is an issue. When reminded that either those allergies didn't exist then thanks to overly-cautious approaches to early exposure or that those kids simply died before school age, she claimed she saw nothing wrong with that and maybe those kids are genetically inferior and should be allowed to die out if you can't afford life-saving medication out-of pocket, or that she should have to pay any more in insurance subsidize keeping those people alive. This might have been an excusable thought-experiment from someone with to much wine in them, but she had to say it to my cousin, in front of her kid who has life-threatening allergies without so much as batting an eye and seemingly without even considering that this could be offensive. Polarization is funny in that you can take any issue that should be pretty cut-and-dried and people will naturally move to extreme positions they wouldn't normally have held, like you know, supporting eugenics while five minutes later claiming that abortion is evil because Margret Sanger supported eugenics.
