    The primary instigator of American i civility is Donald Trump. Everyone knows it—some even like it—but no one can do anything about it, so those calling for civility point their fingers at everyone else.

        Quick response, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. Antifa is not the primary anything. Their embrace of violence is wrong, but their national impact is very small. Few directly affected, and few respond. The president's impact is much, much largerhttps://twitter.com/NotYngwie/status/1055427779800563712 …

        How do you understand ‘incivility’? I don’t think we can provide necessary and sufficient conditions. But presumably it’s not like porn, where all you can say is ‘I know it when I see it’? So so you have a working definition?

        Hey! I was going to use the Potter Stewart cop-out. No fair. I like questions of definition, but don't have time to get into it now. My point here is the most influential person in America stokes anger and increases division, which significantly contributes to incivility.

        Replying to @craigsuperstar

        None. I mean, I could design a research project to try and measure incivility--some weighted combo of violence, direct action activism, mass protests, etc.--but it'd be tough. But my point that POTUS is the most influential person in the country is basically a truism.

        Was it true during the 2016 campaign?

        More accurately, those who could do anything about it won’t, out of cowardice or complicity. The 25th Amendment should have been deployed years ago
