Remember when Democrats promised to be civil after they got power in the election...

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Regardless of who did what first, Trump lowered the bar to unprecedented levels

Oh please! The left crucified Bush daily. Then the right crucified Obama daily.
Then SIXTEEN YEARS LATER Trump showed up.


Get a grip

What do Democrats have to gain by being civil?

Bush was given unprecedented support from both sides

Then he squandered it

Well they got power and they are getting worse. Is there anything they actually honor?

Poor conservative republicans. Setting the level of civility and then whining whining whining whining whining about it.

Yes. We do set the level of civility. And in response you lie about us. You accuse onus of vile things that you do. You call us names. Some of have gotten tired and desired to descend to your level. Be nice if you for once in your life you guys would try to raise the level of discourse

Trump is the bar you set.

Why the race to the bottom. It is always the other guy.

what bar?

90% of the BAD TRUMP crap comes from a liberal media who hates him. why should i believe CNN? why should i believe CBS or FOX?

because they say things i agree with and want to hear? and why do you think they say that? cause you want to hear it and "validate" hate they gave you.

trump is far from perfect. he begs to be picked on and "spar'd" with. that's what he loves to do and look at him, he's got the world doing it with him. good, bad, indifferent. but i don't believe the press so i won't believe the press when they say he's racist when there simply isn't longstanding proof of this. hell, he was fine when he was a "democrat" and the bad things came out AFTER he swapped sides;. so to speak.

sounds more like bitter "ex" friends than a sudden change in a mans behavior.

people are never going to give trump a fair shake anymore than they will hillary. there's just segments of people so deep rooted in their emotional correctness they won't allow it.it puts people into an irrational state where they simply see negatives even if the other day that's exactly what they would have done.

is the level of civility set when you:
accuse kavanaugh of rape w/o proof or witnesses
accept obama spying on the journalists and doing far worse than trump, but all you see is trump and CNN going at it so trump is bad.
call people racist and nazi for simply not agreeing with you
lie about "attacks" from MAGA hat wearers
attack MAGA hat wearers and have the media blame the victim and people dogpile onto them now
take a gun to a softball game and open fire on (R)'s.

the left went crazy saying YOU WILL BE TOLERANT OF US (but hey, you can't say shit or we'll ANTI-FA on you and call you all the names that describe how we act).

oh yea - anti-fa; are they civil?

now rest assured i do believe there's a good portion of us in the middle who are and want to be civil. but we get led astray by that CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT THEY JUST DID "journalism" out there so common today. it teaches us to hate then reinforces it every chance they can.

such as calling a (D) wearing either blackface *or* a KKK outfit a (R) and tell him to deny is long after he's admitted it.

that the civility you're pulling into this and saying the OTHER side is name calling?

you can't attack the other side for using actions and methods your side is doing while you say "but i understand why my side does, the other side made us" cause that simply isn't something any parent would let their child get away with.

what would you parents say when you were growing up when you said "they started it"? or "they called me a name first"? my dad would just tell me to stop being stupid and grow up.

we all got a lot of growing up to do in this country but it ain't gonna happen if we pretend only the other side is guilty of the very things you're condoning from your side.

Why do you only attack the left? I cant help but notice how yoj you largely give a free pass to what comes from Trump et al...it really makes your argument appear to be little more thsn condoning your side. I get this impression from multiple arguments I have seen.

Regardless of who did what first, Trump lowered the bar to unprecedented levels and his supporters not only condoned it but applauded it, in the name of "authenticity". To ignore this is to ignore the very sharp drop in public discourse set by Trump and his supporters. Lets hope it is not a trend tbe Dems and Non Trump Republicans will follow. We need adults and I am not seeing them in the Trump Whitehouse. It really is time to calla spade a spade.

Then you are not paying attention. I've locked horns with both sides and ignore people from both sides.

Trump does what he does but he doesn't lie a out it later. Obamas DOJ is in court now for spying on journalists.
We will see where that goes. Why do you never object to what Obama did? I never see you bitch at liberals. Do we want to keep at that tactic?

Too funny

We need a shooting war with lots of death and the end of America.

I hate Americans more than anything else

Trumpers are really fucked up

Bush and Obama never lowered themselves to the level Trump did from the beginning. The left and right have always crucified the other, but I dont ever recall a president setting such a low bar for civility and that right from the start when he was campaigning. Never.

Everything. In particular...respect.

Fair enough but I won't fault a man for fighting back when attacked. The endless preemptive tweets are another story tho

I have a lot more respect for a man who takes the high road.

It is like a dog who is truly alpha. He doesn’t have to take offense at every ankle biting chihuahua.

And that is fine but that is you're personality and preference not some kind of mandated guideline.

It is my opinion, no more no less. I never said otherwise.
