The idea that there's any objective way to measure "civility" over time seems silly. It's always necessarily a cobbling together of anecdotes.

An equally silly idea is that politics was ever civil to begin with. "Civil" politicians/activists just focus their shenanigans behind the scenes out of the public eye.

Those who are ostensibly "civil" in public presentation often have an easier time getting "uncivil" things done.
