After watching, with dismay, the hateful rhetoric by those against Obama I hoped we would rise above; at some point. I was wrong.

Now with a new president, from a different party, we see the opposing side finding new lows of civility. Everything from Michele Wolf at the roast, cattily insulting another human being in the guise of humor to mobs formed for the express purpose of attempting to deny those on the right basic freedoms.

Sour grapes, in both instances, in my opinion.

What will the next presidency bring? If it's a Democrat who wins office I see more grumbling and false accusations wildly contested. A continued degradation of civil society. If a Republican, I see civil war on the horizon. Whatever happens, it will be the result of many finding an ever more subterranean common denominator.

Is there any hope for maturity and common sense to come back to the American political culture?

  It means that we are continually getting worse. We have no concern for those whose ideas differ from our own. And, yes, only a person unwilling to look at where the civil unrest comes from and what it's objective is would not see the dark possibilities of escalation.
  
  Both and all, are at fault. We are allowing ourselves to tear this nation apart out of some callous entitled sense of self worth; while (at best) marginalizing the value of fellow citizens.

  Don Wposted 5 years agoin reply to this
  'Liberals' and 'conservatives' have become like social groups in their own right. People perceive criticism of their political view as an attack on who they are. That triggers the same intensity of response as someone who's cultural survival (often called their 'way of life') is threatened. This leads to a tendency to be less critical of bad behaviour when the person responsible shares the same political views.
  
  So some evangelical Christians have nothing to say, or actively support, public officials who fail to uphold the law in the name of 'religious freedom' etc, but would very quickly condemn someone on the opposite 'side' for not following the rule of law. Likewise some social justice activists turn a blind eye, or fail to condemn, violence committed in the name of social equality, but would be quick to condemn such violence if it were committed in the name of an opposing political view.
  
  These bad behaviours are tolerated in the name of: 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'.
  
  Essentially it's a form of tribalism.

  Tribalism - True . Yet I know very well which tribe it is that is the right one to survive this extended war on political common sense . The new left has abandoned almost all of it's own traditions in ideology and in doing so the very heart of "patriotism "The old school democrat may very well be dead , hijacked by the new alt left which alternates somewhere between the ideals of Alinsky and the whims of the ill informed "idealisms " , for lack of a more fitting term , of eighteen year old government acquired entitlement's where anything for free is the new political norm , The entire Bernie Sanders promised package.
  -free education
  -minimum guaranteed incomes
  -urban dwelling utopian's
  -anti-military
  -anti-coporations
  -wealth redistribution
  Will their party swing back toward a "normal" left ? No , not likely . as this new age voter group dictates the coming vote directions into the future of party legislation , Traditional politics no 'burn it down "- the new political mentality of the democrat . Micheal Moore just wished Karl Marx a happy 200th birthday celebrating the hero of the ideology of "feel the burn " ."What next " ? Simply put ; embrace marxism , It fits like a glove .

  The problem with attempting to have a dialogue in this type of environment is you don't, really, know with what or whom you are conversing.
  
  When you run across an entity which never listens to anything you say in response or consistently misinterprets...you want to give it the benefit of the doubt. But, is it a bot? The litmus test I usually use is, has it ever provided a unique and thought out response?
  
  Since that litmus test has failed, in regards to my discourse with this particular entity, I'm going to assign a 'bot' status and avoid further attempts at dialogue.

  I've been trying to figure out how to address LtL on this topic. By now, everyone here knows that I believe voting for Trump was a vote that said lying, bullying, cheating, misogyny, and hatefulness are acceptable qualities in a leader. Maybe what I've been less clear about is how validating that behavior in a leader is, by its acceptance, validating that behavior for all of us. That is how I see it and research in management, psychology, sociology supports this idea.
  
  So, now we're in a place where our leader, the man we should admire and emulate, displays qualities and behavior that should be unacceptable in anyone, much less a leader. Now, those who voted for him, thereby validating his behavior and character, are now concerned about the direction we, the people, are heading with regard to civility, hate, and division.
  
  While I understand many who voted for Trump did so because they viewed Hillary as worse, you cannot have it both ways. You cannot legitimately claim Trump is fit to be President, then decry the very behavior he exhibits as a leader as unacceptable in your fellow citizens. If it is unacceptable for us, then there should be NO QUESTION that it is unacceptable in the President of the United States. Yet, Trump supporters continue to defend his behavior while claiming those who criticize Trump are behaving inappropriately.
  
  It's difficult for me to take seriously a Trump rsupporter's call for unity and civility, even though I do believe it is sincere. I also believe their fingers are pointing in the wrong direction. They ought to be pointing right up to the top, at our leader and his enablers.

  wildernessposted 5 years agoin reply to this
  You're right - you can't have it both ways. Either the Trump vote was primarily a vote against Clinton or it was because Trumps behavior didn't matter to the voter.
  
  It is just possible that the Trump vote said "I hate what Clinton represents and will accept poor behavior before I accept what she offered". Which validates nothing at all, just says one is better than the other. If you really do "understand many who voted for Trump did so because they viewed Hillary as worse" you will also understand that the vote did not "validate" Trumps behavior anymore than saying that rape is preferable to rape and torture followed by murder would validate the act of rape.

  Um, there were other people to vote for, or did you forget that part? Or, you
  could cast no vote at all.
  
  Also, Trump was selected by the Republican voters, just like Hillary was selected by Democratic voters, much to my dismay.
  
  Yes, I get it, you say you voted against Hillary. That's just semantics and a way to abdicate responsibility for the man you voted for.
  
  To be clear, I am not saying you believe his behavior is wholly acceptable. I'm saying you specifically said, with your vote, that it is acceptable for the President of the United States. If it wasn't, you wouldn't have voted for a man who displays it so regularly and so egregiously. To then turn around and call for an end to hate and division while simultaneously continuing to defend him is, well, weird and contradictory.
  
  The leader sets the tone. The people who selected this particular leader bear responsibility for that tone, given that he didn't hide who he was before the election. It would be different if he had pretended to be otherwise.
  
  So, until a Trump supporter finally expresses regret for inflicting this incivility, hate, and division upon us, it is hard to swallow their call for the citizens to behave in a way they have endorsed in their leader, and still defend.

  You don't have any idea what Mueller has on Spanky, do you horse? It kills you not being able to point to leaks from Mueller's investigation because they're none to this point. You guys were perfectly fine when HRC was investigated for years, and you still want more, but you seem to have a double standard when it comes to Spanky. Mueller's investigation has already yielded several indictments, and unfortunately for your idol, will issue many more before he's through.
  
  So stop saying there's no proof of Spanky's guilt unless Mueller tells you so. You're not even close to being an investigator of anything..........thank goodness, but Spanky would probably hire you anyway.
