The left loves to make it seem like President Trump is the one who has upset civil discourse in the States, conveniently forgetting the pattern of the last two Presidents. Under President Bush, Hitler was in power. Under President Obama, everything was sunshine and lollypops. And now, under the current President, we’re back to Hitler again. This says more about the left than anything President Bush or Trump did to the public discourse.

After twenty years in education, I feel confident in describing leftist behavior like that of a spoiled child. Under Obama, everything appeared fine because the left got their way – they were in control. Under two separate Republican administrations, the lack of civility is simply because the left aren’t. ‘It’s not fair! I don’t want him as my President! Boo hoo!’ And they stamp their feet, scream, hurl obscenities, try to remove him from office and, of late, physically attack people.

It’s not that the nation has changed in the past 17 years, or that Republican Presidents are the problem, it’s just that a significant portion of the population never grew up. Discourse would return to normal if they learned how to behave like adults who understand that you can’t always get your way.
