    Discourse has shut down nationwide. Right now, My brother and mother are basically not talking to one another over politics, and current events. I am now acting as an intermediary between them due to me being open minded and (mostly) centrist. Without vigorous discourse and (sometimes heated) discussion, our nation will fracture more. Stifiiling the free exchange of ideas, opinion, and airing grievances, and yes, disagreeing with one another, the divide in this nation will get wider day by day. Sweeping the discussion under the rug solves nothing, it only makes things worse. My experience may be anecdotal, but shutting people out of the public discourse is the last thing that should happen right now. Today the environment is divisive, but without discussion, even if that discussion can get unpleasant or rude, the divide can never heal. we NEED to discuss these things. Being a forum that is publicly accessible, it is your responsibility, nay, your OBLIGATION, to allow such discourse. Closed comments only contribute to the problem, and the result will be YOUR burden to bear due to your indifference. YOU will be to partly to blame for what this country becomes because YOU opted to silence people rather than let them express their opinion. Free society demands discourse.
