People have forgotten how Bush was treated. The way they are treating Trump is not very different than how they treated Bush. The only difference is Bush ignored most of it and didn't fight back. One thing that's unprecedented is how Trump's campaign was spied on by the Obama admin.No. I don't think so. The venom against Trump is unprecedented in my lifetime.
I'm really believing at this point we are close to civil war, and there is no help for it.
The only time nations become this polarized is before civil war..
The underlying theme to most of it is fear, which we are commanded over and over again in the bible to not do.
I have made conscious choices to avoid certain things because of how it makes me feel, how it makes me think of others or because I want to avoid being so comfortable with certain behaviors that it comes out in my daily speech and how I react to things.
I commend you for overcoming what you have faced. In my experience very few people question why they do something or think something. I have very little confidence that people are sitting down and reflecting on WHY they are doing something or responding in a certain way. Many just absorb what they hear without question. I feel Trump has influenced many, and not for the better. I see evidence of this far too regularly to rule it out.

Both sides are far too lazy and disorganized for this to result in a drawn out civil war. Neither side has anywhere near enough members fully committed to their cause to organize into full on warring factions.No. I don't think so. The venom against Trump (and anyone who supports him) is unprecedented in my lifetime.

I bear no ill will to people who support Trump. I pity them more than anything.No. I don't think so. The venom against Trump (and anyone who supports him) is unprecedented in my lifetime.

It's more frequent now only because Trump counter punches with every attack against him, but the viciousness against Bush by Hollywood and the rest of the left-wing media was about the same.Not on the level I see with Trump.
Trump might have gotten the idea for the slogan from Bill Clinton's use of it.
Context context context...
Reagan's "great again" was a reference to turning around the worsening economy...
Trump's "great again" was a reference to a very different, more divisive, premise...

They used to be friends.

Ask him. Was it a campaign slogan?So what did Clinton mean when he said it?
How so?. Trump uses it to divide.
That saying someone who foists Marxist economic policies on the American people is Marxist (in their philosophy for America) isn't doing more than saying if it walks like a duck then calling it a duck isn't a big stretch of the imagination.
And Obama was of Kenyan parentage, so pointing it out also isn't a stretch. It seems you have an issue with truth.
Personally, I have already explained why I think Trump is a terrible, terrible president and it has very little to do with him being Republican. It is the quality of his character that makes him unfit to be president.
And frankly, I have a hard time with people who argue the opposite and assume that they are unable to properly judge character. And to be honest, they are more likely to support his boorish,graceless and mean behaviours BECAUSE he has a R behind his name.
If a democrat president acted this way, I'd say the same thing. He is a human of low moral virtue. Just as worthy of God's grace as anyone, but far too narcissistic to consider anything more powerful than him.
Bush was treated with just as much hate by Hollywood and other left-wing media.
So how does that justify "feeling offended" by seeing someone wearing a MAGA hat and judge them before a word is even spoken?By using extremely derisive language against people; groups and individuals.
