Yes! And next to the word “toxic” you should find a picture of Trump!!!

Scary. If this was Obama, he would have been IMPEACHED, Trump gets away with everything. This man has the CODES FOR WAR. WE ARE SITTING HERE DOING NOTHING.

Broken

xX_Wreckers_Xx Toxic loonie left was what they meant.

“Weaponised”. Drastically overused.

WLOS_13 “Sad” is my frontrunner.

I’m voting for IGNORANT!

'Historically accurate' 🤷🏼‍♀️

TOXIC

Lodestar 💫

Depressing.

zenveteran Chaos.

Q

Stupid

Ominous

Is it just 'toxic' or more specifically 'toxic masculinity'? I can believe there is such a thing, but there is also such a thing as 'toxic femininity'... Just go on 'BuzzFeed' for ex, That's just my thought because I'm trying to bring more 'diversity' to the argument... :)

________ism. Fill in the blank

Unbelievable in every sense.

Unfair!

'Toxic' for most of us, but 'gas-lighting' in the better word for those who continue to support realDonaldTrump . They aren't lying, they actually believe the insane things they think are arguments in favor of Trump. They believe it because they have been successfully gas-lit.

More like 'exciting' than toxic. Stop fearing the future.

“Sheesh” is the correct answer here

Vacuous

Toxic if you listen to MSM. Try listening to your neighbors, your community. The elite fight is only for the elite.

Should consider “infektion”

Few people in the world even knew what 'gaslighting' even meant. Why? Because NOBODY in the media bothered to explain it!!

realDonaldTrump “DESPERATION” (exhibited by radical left all across the globe that has created a toxic atmosphere-win at any cost-collateral damage accepted.Evil. Desperate.Strategic.Psychopathy.

Opioids.

Bubble-dwellers. Are hyphenated words allowed? As in “left wing bubble-dwellers tell us what the word of the year is”.

This whole idea of picking out one word that is over used and badly applied is, well, toxic!🤓

Sore losers. Oh sry that’s 2 words

Gaslighting

Our society is toxic, it is w/o Any form of love and compassion for one another! But thru Jesus Christ and what He did on the Cross, as we turn to Him, away from sins snare! We ALL can be Changed! It’s our hearts cry!

AKA Fake news

Look at all the toxic people responding here.

That sums it up! Our presid by definitely set the overall tone for the country: Toxic!!!

Poisonous is mine.

We had Democrat senators deciphering yearbooks and calendars during a Supreme Court confirmation like they’re Alex Jones or something. I’d say that’s pretty toxic

Discombobulating

I'd agree with toxic hands down

I think OD described the left perfectly.

This that main stream media bullshit

LIAR

Immature.

CORRUPTDEMOCRATS
