1) More than anything else, Clinton's comments on "civility" show an utter lack of self-awareness, and/or critical thinking. Every political movement in history has believed its opponents want to destroy what it "stands for" or "believes in."
2) That is the very nature of political disagreement. Which is precisely why civility is necessary, and that we settle such differences in respectful debates, and at the election box. Losing an election and a Supreme Court seat is not a justification for overthrowing that system
3) What she's really saying is: "We can't be civil to a party that beat us fair and square...."
4) Perhaps most disturbing is her claim that Ds will be civil again once they are reelected--which borders on a threat. In essence: When we lose, we will respond with despicable tactics, and if you want that to stop, you will have to put us back in power.
