This column by Greg Sargent addresses the civility issue. He is write to blame Trump as the root of the problem.
He writes: “…we cannot seriously debate the “civility” question without placing the role of Trump’s deliberate provocations in causing all the anger front and center.
Trump’s own advisers have explicitly said they see stirring up anger around immigration and race as a political strategy. Stephen Miller called this “constructive controversy — with the purpose of enlightenment.” Stephen K. Bannon enthused that “our thing is to throw gasoline on the resistance.””
Sad!
