The problem with your suggestion is the other side doesn’t play by the same rules or hold themselves to the same standards. And the media is hardly an impartial witness. So, all you suggest is effectively handicapping our side while the other side and the media run roughshod all over us. That’s happened since Reagan. Our side fights Marquis of Queensbury, the other side fights guerilla warfare. Trump doesn’t play by those rules, and we shouldn’t ask him.
Not civility in politics. I guess I wrote my idea out too poorly. I meant the speech to be a call to decency for the people in our cities who react like animals, not people, who trash their surroundings and retaliate for every perceived slight like animals do. We should not use bigotry of low expectations and allow generations of humans to decivilize.
But I am pretty much alone here with this idea so I should shut up.
