An issue is raised.
A debate occurs.
One side of the debate side steps debate in favor of personal attacks. Discourse descends as it becomes about personalities and greater aspects of political tribalism. The issue is successfully ignored as energy is burned out fighting general feelings rather than precise policy positions. No one grows, ideological entrenchment proceeds, echo chambers are reinforced, nothing happens, status quo is victorious.
