Title: Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Why Civility Can't Return To Politics

When everything is politicized, everything becomes a death match. That ain't good.

You can't "be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about," Hillary Clinton told CNN's Christiane Amanpour a week ago, defending the win-at-all-costs mentality that many Democrats are pushing before the midterm elections.

That was before the Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, Scott Wagner, told the Democratic incumbent that he "better put a catcher's mask on your face because I'm going to stomp all over your face with golf spikes because I'm going to win this."

It was before street brawls between right-wing and left-wing groups broke out last weekend in Portland and New York. And it was also before President Donald Trump called porn star Stormy Daniels, who was paid $130,000 by Trump's personal lawyer to keep quiet about sleeping with the billionaire, "horseface" on Twitter.

If politics these days seem especially ugly, that's because they are. Not even counting actual physical attacks on Sen. Rand Paul (R–Ky.) and the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise (R–La.) during a congressional baseball practice, politics are more heated, divisive, and physically charged than they have been in years.

And for good reason: The people who control politics insist that every piece of legislation, every Supreme Court nomination, every midterm election, every minor rule change is bringing the world one step closer to the apocalypse.

Using plastic straws, kneeling for the national anthem, decade-old tweets—there isn't anything we do anymore that doesn't immediately get sucked into angry partisan arguments. Civility won't return until more of us channel our inner libertarians and realize that not all parts of our lives need to be politicized.

How do you expect people to respond when we're told each day is the beginning of the end of our way of life, that the other side is not just mistaken but pure evil, and we're limited to two parties that represent fewer and fewer of us?

The government is spending more, borrowing more, and controlling more and more aspects of our lives for no reason other than pure political gain.

"If we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that's when civility can start again," says Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, no. If civility can't return to politics unless your team is in charge, you're doing it wrong. Civility is only going to return when people stop treating politics as the only thing that matters—and we start actually shrinking the size, scope, and spending of government and give ourselves some space to breathe.

That's especially true if we're stuck with just two choices who have pledged to screw the other side. Neither Republicans nor Democrats offer a plan where you get to live however you want as long as you're not hurting others. Which helps explain why so few of us want to be part of either party (according to the most recent Gallup survey of political affiliation, just 26 percent of us cop to being Republicans and just 27 percent admit that we're Democrats).

And why civility won't return to politics until politicians stop cramming themselves into every corner of our lives.

Why be civil with asshole child murderers who want to steal your money and give it to evil people.

Be civil with transvestites who are all mentally ill and want you to pretend they are normal. Ditto for every faggots.

When everything is politicized, everything becomes a death match. That ain't good.

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
--John Adams to Jonathan Jackson, 2 October 1780

Hillary and Willie knew exactly what they were doing when they encouraged "our boy" to play a larger role in the Republican appendage of The Party.

And it was also before President Donald Trump called porn star Stormy Daniels … "horseface" on Twitter.

Way before that people were calling Trump, the President of the United States -- -- -- not some porn star -- Orange Face. But that was OK?

Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Why Civility Can't Return To Politics

This got ugly only after Trump embarrassed everyone on the left by getting himself elected. Before that, everyone on the left was having a grand old time.
