Dang, maybe we need to bring back the days of our early leaders..didn't like what someone said...have a duel..if we're lucky they would shoot each other {oops, did I say shoot.} The speech of today is calm compared to our early history. Just read some old newspaper ads late 1700's to 1900's.
For the most part we only had a few decades where speech was calm. Certainly before the 80's violent hate speech was more agressive. It calmed somewhat until Clinton and been going sense, but it certainly hasn't been violent to any degree as in times past.
Each side has it's own hate propaganda. Politicians know the majority of Americans don't keep up and lack education regarding politics, so they spew propaganda.
It really just shows how weak the american mindset is, that so many fall for it.
