All embracing love and adoration of the POTUS has never been part of the American political experience. We've torn our political proxies apart since the founding of the Republic. Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln were mocked and ridiculed in their day. In more recent years Clinton, Bush, Obama were mocked, ridiculed and raked over the coals. What's bizarre to me really is that we now have forgotten all that, and expect POTUS 45 to be held, nursed, and cuddled?

@Nimbus I'm all for a more reasoned and civil political dialog. I personally think we have very macro scale problems that are more important than any election cycle or individual political legacy. More important than the special interests our politicians are beholden to. I say that now. I said that during POTUS 44's administration. During his predecessor.
I don't think it's a matter of not being angry and learning to love a particular politician. We have to get back to focusing on specific problems. But even posing a problem is a political position, and if you pose the wrong problems you're a commie or a fascist. I'm not even talking about posing solutions. Just talking about certain issues is politically loaded.
