Somehow, even if talking about the weather.
Those/They will throw in a sentence about Obama or Trump. Either side.
But mostly one side.
On the forum.
Some can/will provide a nice constructive posting. Detailed about some subject concerning the Lakes Region.
BUT
They can't help themselves. Have to throw in one sentence about political.
Then the next poster "corrects" the political sentence. Then another poster will again "correct" the correction. Ad infinitum. Destroying the original informative constructive posting.
And then the nice informative post takes a tangent into sly disruptive politics.
These/they/them can't help themselves.
This US against THEM mentality is imbedded into their daily interactions.
Almost all encompassing. Almost all consuming. Almost consuming their psyche.
For a few/some.
They can't seem to help themselves.
They just can't seem to help themselves.

Professor, much of what you say is true, and......who am I to argue with a professor? I would probably change the last two sentences to read “We can’t seem to help ourselves” and “We just can’t seem to help ourselves.” To varying degrees, we are all culpable. JMO
