Obama Wrote:In an age of social media where so many people are getting their information in sound bites and snippets off their phones, if we can't discriminate between serious arguments and propaganda, then we have problems," he said. "If people, whether they're conservative, liberal, left or right, are unwilling to compromise and engage in the democratic process and are taking absolutist views and demonizing opponents, then democracy will break down.

I wonder if this is what Obama meant by 'demonizing'?

Maybe it's just pointing out what Trump IS.

His war on the environment alone makes him a monster. Do you want him to wipe out all the bees? Atty. Gen Sessions, you really think that's not demonic?

Are you aware, that "Trumpzilla" is the name that Trump supporters chose for him?

Maybe the problem is the interaction and stalemate between the two parties rather than just one party.  We have a dysfunctional government.  A good sized part of the problem is less interest in the good of the people and good government, more interest in confrontation and making the other guys look bad.  Right now, I anticipate an ugly two years followed by an ugly set of mid term elections for the Republicans.  Yes, it is bad that they are getting their innings, but while the culture is centering on extreme partisan thinking, I'm doubtful that we are going to break the pattern of a few terms of Democratic White Houses without filibuster resistant congresses followed by Republicans all over the place and disaster.

The regeneracy would require a consensus, and a consensus isn't coming without a willingness to respect and listen.  Feeding the hate won't get it done.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
