As Democrats debated how they should combat Trump’s administration ...

Notice how this has become the new normal. And it was true during the obama administration. Just replace democrats with republicans and Trump with obama.

When did it become acceptable for the two parties to just fight each other rather than actually govern from a “relatively common values system”.

If this is not proof our country is in a “cold” civil war, I don’t know what is.

When the Democrats abandoned that "relatively common values system". I would peg the date to sometime between the '68 Chicago Convention and the publication of Rules for Radicals.

Actually, Sir, it started between Adams and Jefferson. They were particularly nasty to each other in the fledgling parties they were creating.

Then, look at the 1850’s, especially after the Republicans formed.

From the end of the Civil War until about the turn of the century to 1901, the democrats we’re keeping their heads down because they chose badly in 1861-65.

The 20th Century was mild, but then the press decided to fake neutrality and promote the Dems and assure everyone that the Great Depression was the Republican’s fault.

But yeah, even Tip O’Neill worked with Ronald Reagan.

In my opinion, this all started with Clinton, who had NO mandate (only got 43% of the vote in ‘92 and 46% in ‘96) but still tried to cram the full Leftist agenda down the country’s throat. In 1994 we struck back, and it’s been ON ever since.
