Remember when the most important issue was civility in politics because restaurant workers politely decline to serve Sarah Sanders and now everyone targeted by Trump or his cronies needs private security and we don’t talk about civility much anymore www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Remember when an affair with a staffer almost got a President thrown out of office? We've gone from that to two impeachments, insurrectionist, 4 indictments, 90+ charges, convicted of business fraud, abuse, liable and 34 felonies, with the complete approval of the GOP cult. It's way past "civility".

Actually they still talk about civility a lot, but only when they’re being attacked* * By which they mean, someone said something about us that is totally true, but we don’t like.

As is typical, they demand from others that which they refuse from their own. They demand we be nice to them while they call us names and say we should be murdered.

The Trump campaign knows who they are, and I'm sure there must have been pictures taken at some point to feed into facial recognition. Plus whatever info Musk might decide to provide. Safe to assume they're going to be utterly doxxed, and I really hope they have proper security provided.

Some of us knew back then that the D.C. press was carrying Republicans water for them with their fainting couch antics being all about policing liberal behavior, and not at all about civility. I mean, Newt Gingrich happened. Right? And he's still a TV pundit, right?

It's just a dog whistle for deference. You're supposed to bow to your "betters" & that's what they think they are. If you don't, they claim violent punishment is justified to force you.

We are witnessing history... the rise of the American Nationalist Party. Look back to the 1930s beer halls, we have the internet. News sources cover the 'hush money' trial which it is not. Money delays the trial of secret documents where less wealthy indicted would be in a black cell. 🤨 Much more.

In fairness to Trump, what convicted felon would say his trial was NOT rigged? Some bullshit his ex-buddy told on the witness stand. Evidence that must have been mishandled. A dumb ruling by the judge that went against his defense. "Even if I did it, those crooks had to cheat to convict me!"

"Civility" was a pretty quaint idea, when portraying politics is sport seemed like a neat idea, and it was just a matter of two teams, but once the other team wants to kill you, and seems positively eager to do so, civility is like asking them to wait a minute while you finish tying your own hands.
