I agree that in any group you will find people on the fringes who are going to be idiots. And that in any group you will find those that will try and discredit their opponents or those they do not believe in. But a photo of the President (Bush, Obama, doesn't matter) as the next Hitler? There is no context where that could be useful.
The problem I see is that people are going so far into their beliefs that rational discussions are becoming impossible. It seems like it began in the last presidency and is only increasing with the current. I worry what will happen with the next...
