For decades now, “civility” in politics meant nothing more than for the right to surrender fully and completely to every whim and want of the left.
When denied any whim or want, the left immediately resorts to disruption and violence. Civility only applies to the right.
The days of moral cowards demanding we always lose “with honor and dignity” and such is over.
Meet force with greater force. That’s how wars are won. We are in a war.
Well said.
Likewise, we need not shout at our neighbors who supported Trump, but we can refuse to engage with them about politics if they are clearly not interested in anything but venting. Too many Trump supporters, in public as well as in private, are interested only in trying to draw a foul, to bait the other person into descending into the murk. A polite refusal speaks more than shouting in their face.
I think most Trump supporters only want to get up and let America work the way it was designed. I think they expect and trust that will happen. I think the left is the one pushing the envelope on politics, as they always have. Little Miss Red Hen was the one who engaged politics with Sarah Sanders and Miss Sanders was the one who politely refused. However, that was not good enough as Little Miss Red Hen further engaged Sarah’s relative’s at the next restaurant. All the Left and the Swamp had to say was, “ Good on you Trump, we will be ready for the next election.” Instead they have tried every low ball maneuver since 2015 to make an example of anyone who is not them to never try this again. It is only for us elites. Now it is too late for them to disengage and get back to civility. They couldn’t if they wanted to.
