Trump was the voter's choice by the rules, the electoral college. Trump won. His win was unequivocal. Call him what you will, but to protest the voters' choice is un-American.
Not un-American. Just sour grapes. This year has seen a bumper crop.
I wouldn't say the country feels like or in any way resembles a third world country. The term is frankly outdated in my mind.
But civility is clearly in decline.
People no longer seem able or willing to have reasonable discussions. And it's one thing for the public to suffer from this, but our representatives won't even properly debate any more. This is unacceptable, and while I think blaming this phenomenon on Trump would be absurd, he's definitely not helping by tweeting out memes.
According to the OP article, "Americans broadly believe their country’s political tone has become less civil since Donald Trump was elected president....".
I agree. The political tone has become outrageously uncivil due to the Left's unwillingness to accept the voters' choice of President.
The pollsters didn't ask participants a follow up question regarding who Americans believe is responsible for the "less civil" political environment? If they had asked me, the lack of civility lies with Leftists' protesting, biased media reporting, and violence.
The OP using the word selected rather than elected being one example.
lol. shooting up the republican party on a baseball field , attacking trump supporters, actors calling for assassinating the president and showing him beheaded and on and on. The left in America today is a filthy cesspool
Yes, a very filthy cesspool tearing apart America.
Didn't you see the faces on CNN the day Hillary lost. Since then it has been "no holes barred" from the uncivilized Democrats. So bully the president and then blame him when he does the only thing one can do to stop a bully. Y'all can stop any day now. You're looking like ridiculous losers. Which is what you are!
That is so kinky it's disturbing.
