What I was afraid of has now come to pass. People are too divided to even reach out and talk. Is there any hope that sanity will return to Politics in the State

What I was afraid of has now come to pass. People are too divided to even reach out and talk. Is there any hope that sanity will return to Politics in the States?
Personally, I no longer respect the man.
- hirundo 4y agoBased on the common sentiments expressed on this site, it's not clear that his endorsement is a net positive for the GOP.
- jfengel 4y agoThat came to pass a long, long time ago. The last time we elected a President with whom the opposite party could "agree to disagree" was George H. W. Bush in 1988. Since then, each party has considered the other's Presidents a travesty, not worth a shred of respect and whose agenda must be stopped at all costs -- with the brief exception in 2001 under George W. Bush. I don't intend this as both-sides-ism. I certainly blame one party far more than the other. But in terms of what "has now come to pass", it came to pass in the early 90s, whoever you blame for it.
