Biden was too old or naive to recognize that the era of civility in politics was over. At the very least, SCOTUS ruling that presidents are essentially kings should've kicked him in the ass. I guess thx for the economy Joe, but it wasn't nearly enough.
I’m not sure that’s the case, though of course the demented rapist in office is a hell of an argument for it. I just think he’s the worst possible combination of huckster, narcissist, dementia sufferer, and russian intelligence. So far, yes, yes.
Rational discussion still exists, and it can be about politics - just not with any of these pithed clowns in power.
IMO the civility era has been over at LEAST since Turtle McConnell made it his mission to block everything he could coming from a black president.
I would say it would go far back as shit heel Newt Gingrich as the Speaker.
To be fair, a large majority of Americans didn't acknowledge the threat until very recently. In general, politicians do not go for bold moves unless they feel they have a large support from the population.
