You watch these Sunday morning talk shows and they talk about the Obama years and how civil it was. What the hell are these people talking about? I suppose when you take away the Black Panthers policing polling places, massive violent riots in Ferguson, Baltimore, New York and elsewhere, police being murdered by Obama supporters, the Occupy movement and the violence they committed, the Black Lives Matter movement and the violence they committed, and Obama rallies where they discussed taking out the son of bitches who they disagreed with, then you could say it was civil.
Also, law-abiding republicans placidly accepted the election of a divisive black radical with a long history of ties to extremist groups and domestic terrorists. They didn't stage some massive "Resistance" and didn't go around confronting people in restaurants and rioting. So yes, in that sense it was more civil. Now we are dealing with a borderline insurrection. Dems and their big media/entertainment industry arm only see it as a problem when they get caught in the line of fire. Otherwise they are ok with it.
They are and republicans are already in their traditional fetal position defensive crouch. The dems/media have a long list of words and phrases republicans are no longer allowed to use.
