Today The Washington Post has an oped defending banishing Republicans who have the audacity to eat at restaurants and The New York Times has an oped calling for doxxing members of Border Patrol so that's how the whole civility thing is going.
"The once-ubiquitous idea that companies exist purely and solely to provide profit to shareholders is withering away like corn husks in the summer sun."
"The American Bar Association should signal that anyone who defends the border patrol’s mistreatment of children will not be considered a member in good standing of the legal profession." 
"The desire to avoid this kind of social shame may be enough to persuade some agents to quit or may hinder the recruitment of replacements." Because what's needed to deal with this is fewer personnel.
"When the day comes that the world feels returned to its normal axis, I expect we’ll see fewer highly charged encounters making headlines. In the meantime, the new rules apply."

The "new rules" of life proceed from making excuses for spitting, to doxxing, to violence. Lincoln begged us in his first inaugural: "We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies." But if we are, things will get much, much worse.
