I don't know, maybe I'm just naïve, but it feels like dehumanizing the other side (which, yes, is what they do to us) drives us further apart. I'm not saying "when they go low, we go high", but I can't help but feel like it's harmful to my own psyche to dehumanize others.
Then again, I wouldn't say, "I wish Hitler hadn't killed himself" (except for him to face a harsh and public punishment for his crimes) and, though I'm not up on what McConnell has particularly done, if he's anything like the middle to most extreme of the R party, it's probably still fascist activity.
