I can see the TDSers are still trying to cope with the realization that they're only 2-3 tweets away from camping out on a rooftop with a rifle

I'm not a Republican so statistically I'm infinitely less likely to attempt to assassinate him. I think he's safe from me. Conservative incels from bumF like yourself on the other hand...

I most certainly did not.  I said social media was a large factor.  Of course Trump is all over that tool and uses it as much as or likely more than anyone else.  So, yeah, it is still Trump the grifter/barker with a massive megaphone yelling out.

Right it's Trump's fault, we never had any violent rhetoric or assassination attempts or anything like this.  

If we can just eliminate Trump this will all go away, right?

Only one way to find out

And that's why half of the CVON TDSers are camped out in a ditch right now, blaming Trump for their psychosis

We all do, except you. So let me try and make the point in a visual form...

Can you think back to a specific point in time when political discourse stopped looking like this?

I think it can slowly settle down and decrease once Trump is gone but remain at a heightened level.  So, no, I don't think it will be eliminated.

Also, obviously another bad actor can pop up though I think Trump is really the GOAT grifter so unlikely we get one as bad for some time anyway.  Hopefully enough time to build up the trust in institutions, etc. again so that the guard rails can hold.

Trump is merely a symptom. Trump won a democratic election, didn't he?

There has been extremism fomenting at the edges for decades but our politicians always kept it civil. Trump came in and took a flamethrower to all of the tradition that kept things decent between human beings in politics and his cult fell for it because he somehow convinced you all that NOT calling each other vile names made them a "swamp creature".

He's now made it so that mainstream politics has to be angry, violent, and filled with rhetoric. Otherwise you're an elite swamp thing that's likely part of some pedo cabal.

There has always been a-holes in politics who make up crazy rhetoric. The Obama birther stuff is an obvious example. The difference is that Romney and McCain weren't actively promoting that as well. It's kind of a major difference having a POTUS regurgitating BS that used to be relegated to the tabloids.

Obama didn't keep it civil.  You'd like to think he did, but he didn't.  He was arrogant and snarky and his actual policies were more dangerous than any of Trump's.

It was the fact that the majority of America saw through his act, and Trump called him out, that made Trump so popular.

The media love Trump and still do.  That's by far the biggest cause for the increased political hostility.

What were those policies he put into law? 

You can just say "uppity" Mike. We know that's what you mean.

Obama made fun of Romney's stance on Russia and tried to embarrass him, and his entire take was blatantly wrong.

What difference does it make if he dressed it in a funny joke or called Romney an A-hole??

He was still dead wrong and was the original Russian puppet.  But I guess that doesn't matter because he was kind of faux-respectful, so fooling the American people is acceptable.

 

What about Obama's policy of detaining entire immigrant families at the border?  Was that dangerous and boob??  No one cares because Obama was so cool.

 

Obama tried to take over the health insurance industry.  What difference does the rhetoric make when his actions were far more impactful and dangerous and wrong, if he just used nice language?

 

Like I said, people were tired of the gaslighting and voted for Trump because of it.  Trump is merely a symptom of mainstream Americans being pissed off at politicians.  The media has just amplified his voice and made everyone believe Trump is some sort of unprecedented threat.

If you can't distinguish policy debate wins where one person makes another person look less knowledgeable about a topic from Trump's rhetoric then you truly are beyond reasoning with.

According to Mike the folks saying black people are eating pets are not boob.

Romney was right about Russia.  Trump is Putin’s lackey though.

Yeah, because the only law of note Trump passed - a tax bill - is totally comparable to the emancipation proclamation.

Ok I'll keep it simple for you.  

"To save democracy we have to hand pick our nominee and jail/kill our political opponent.  We're heroes for saving the country!"

We need those trannies/cocaine in the WH, multiple wars all over the place, and horrible economic policies to save our nation

Republicans tried to kill Trump so now they also hand picked their nominee? That's fun.

Dear God you're stupid, we always have to spoonfeed everything to you like a child.

You're saying the attempt to subvert democracy is meaningless and only the end result (him leaving office) matters because "the guardrails held". Well if the attempt is meaningless and only the end result matters, then end result of what you've been queefing non-stop about is Trump barely has a scratch on his ear because the USSS were the guardrails to make sure he wasn't injured further. Once again, I'm using your own logic against you and you're too slow to understand when you're being mocked. Get it now, moron?
