dont you realize that both sides justify their tribalism based on reason? no republican thinks they are trying to beat you, they think there is a war for what it means to be american. democrats voted down a solution on daca that gave them more than they ever hoped for. they came up with a reason why it didnt. both tribes believe the other tribes vision for the country is wrong.
i think you would be hard pressed for someone other than some political pundit or operative to agree with an elected official pardoning themselves, the reality is that this is a hypothetical on a hypothetical. reasonable people wouldnt even answer the question.
nice defense
should we quote every statement by a democrat that dehumanizes republicans?
your statement here made no sense, something about turds
all battles have this same lookback reality, we can each point to activities by others that are directly or loosely connected to the main group. some wacknut gets his car surrounded, and hits a girl and kills her. violence is wrong, period. then some wacknut on your side shoots up a baseball game with politicians. violence is wrong, period.
again, gamesmanship, cheating, whatever, is universal. we can each point to each others sins.
the underlying point is that saying "we shouldnt be civil" is irresponsible, is supports an escalation of behavior and puts us on a collision course to real widespread violence. this should be something all of stand up against as wrong. we can disagree without being disagreeable.
