To the Op,
I am not going to address either side of this issue, even though I had several posts marked to do so. What I want to address is the SIN that motivates these threads.
The opening statement "seems" to be innocent enough, yet is slanted with bias. Never mind the subject matter, it is slanted.
Neither the Op, nor others on the Op's side, EVER speak against those on their side that stirs up trouble for the other side. Never.
Instead, the Op & the others put their "likes" on the wicked slanderous remarks that are made by such wicked people. Wicked is what wicked does.
Then, the Op states openly that he agrees & believes the same things as the wicked people. Does the sin of association ring a bell?
In the end, this looks like a "good cop/bad cop routine adjusted to push personal agenda, & of course, to say "I'm right, & you're wrong."
When one of the group (just one, but usually more) is mean spirited, obnoxious, & haughty with their statements about how the opposing person is an uneducated so-&-so, The reader only needs to see that the behavior of these people is truly evil & those that openly agree with them are no better.
