No one is not tolerating what you say. We are disagreeing with you. Are we really at the point where disagreement becomes intolerance?

I wasn't thinking of you with that tweet. But do you disagree that Obama contributed to this trend? (Because that's all I said.)
-
I don't, Matt. Obama tried too hard to reach new audiences, maybe sometimes lowered standards of comportment. But what he said was not base.
-
I don't think we disagree.
-
1/Sorry to jump on thread but Matt is one of the smartest guys I know at intersection of public policy & morality, so it's an imp. dialogue
-
2/Problem w/positioning Trump on a spectrum with other political silliness is that it gives the glow of normalcy to that which is abnormal.
-
3/Were some Obama YouTube interviews silly? Sure, maybe. Appropriate for presidency? I think so, but others may disagree.
-
4/But does a YouTube interview degrade women, normalize bullying, or fundamentally break centuries-long norms? Can't reasonably say it does.

What happened to personal responsibility? Seems like all conservatives ever do is point fingers and blame others.

Yes, Obama was the biggest trend/norm breaker in presidential history - because he was black. Trump isn't breaking norms; he is indecent.

Being interviewed by comedians (something many pres have done) is nothing compared to Trumpian misogyny and vulgarity.

Matt, this could be said of anyone who ever argument w/ anyone else in the history of ever. Trump's personality disorder is what it is
-
What Trump is doing as POTUS has NEVER been done by anyone in that office - EVER. Obama didn't contribute to that.
-
You want to point a finger, point it at the Koch brothers, Karl Rove, Roger Stone, etc who believe dividing the nation is okay
-
You might as well go back to Kennedy who often spoke about how he disliked the media for all the reasons politicians always dislike them
-
But Kennedy - and ALL other Presidents except Trump - understood the media is a check upon POTUS and is the pulse of the people

@mattklewis are you that oblivious to the stupidity of your comment? Trump is grown 71yo man, who assaults women and insults his rivals.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It's fine for you to think that he contributed to Trump. It just doesn't stand up to intellectual rigor as it's putting cart b4 the horse

Trump is a Frankenstein monster of the faux nationalistic morally and intellectually debased American right. Obama was normal. Deal.
