It started with Gingrich as he demonized Democrats by referring to them as the "enemy" instead of opponent. Trump made it worse and now we have this...welcome to GOP's America.
Casey replied:
No, it started with Medal of Freedom "winner" Rush Limbaugh becoming popular and creating syncophants and imitators on right wing "news" radio in the early 90's. Before that there was division but at least a moderate amount of respect to those with diverging opinions. Now it's just unbelievable how unstable this whole right wing has become towards their fellow Americans. Sorry not sorry, but patriotism is more than just how many flags you can stick on your pickup truck, and there is more to the Constitution than just the 2nd Amendment.
