Trump shooting shows hyperpartisanship putting democracy in crisis

Polarization stokes incendiary rhetoric despite risk of breeding extremism and violence

asia.nikkei.com

The perceptible decline of political ethics in many democracies, coupled with hyperpartisanship, is fostering incivility in discourse and greater discord. This, in turn, is hardening political polarization and stoking incendiary rhetoric, despite risks of it breeding extremism and violence.

The spotlight on the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump, who has gone from being an alleged promoter of political violence to a victim of it, should not obscure the fact that toxic discourse has become a central challenge for democracies from Europe and North America to Asia.

In polarized times, the national discourse often reeks of partisanship and pettifoggery. Fake news, conspiracy theories and fear-mongering, meanwhile, have become common, thanks to the reach of social media and the eroding objectivity of the mainstream media.

I have a new favorite word...pettifoggery.

Pettifoggery is a noun that means paying too much attention to small, unimportant details or engaging in behavior that involves this.

If this does not describe our current political environment, I am not sure what does

Proves the old adage;
The reason God doesn't ever sue anyone is he doesn't have any lawyers.
