Letter: Why can’t we treat each other with dignity and respect?

I’m a conservative and very simple-minded. I voted for President Trump, mainly because I believed this great country needs to change, unify and simplify.

Why can’t we treat each other with dignity and respect while maintaining diversity? Why have we dropped to a disgusting new low, where liberals will not support conservatives and vice versa?

This behavior make us all look horrible and spoiled and gross.
