Please, link me to where Obama called his fellow citizens evil, or called for violence against them. Or said that he had the absolute right to pardon himself.
Did you look at the links for OP's points? Are you not answering the question because Obama didn't say these things? Because Trump didn't say all the things OP linked.
How do you be civil with someone that calls you evil[1], mentally deranged[2], a rioter[3], a communist[4]?

2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism_Is_a_Mental_Disorder
The last 3 links are to sources that are **not quoted by Trump**. Rather it is the party making the statements.
So I'm asking are there similar examples being made by people in the Democratic party?
If you are intellectually honest then you can look at what's happening on both sides...and I'd wager you'd see similarities? I'm not sure how similar - which is why I'm asking OP if there are examples.

Do you think the behavior is ok or not? Despite however that person characterized it: is it ok to you? What is and what isn't? And why?

He may not have said those things linked specifically, but he set the tone and comfort for them. If a handful of people in the Obama admin said something similarly idiotic to what is going on now, it would be in spite of Obama not because of him. To even entertain the notion that the two men, administrations, or even parties are comparable at this moment is is not being intellectually honest, its being either blindly ignorant or willfully misleading. One side calls nazis fine people. One side questions our past President's citizenship. One side refers to the majority of a group of people as rapists and murderers. One side is separating families as punishment for the non violent crime of trying to pull themselves by their bootstraps. One side is alienating our closest allies and cozying up to the worst the world has to offer.
