Trumpism, not the man but the wave he is riding, pushes our already serious incivility problem to uncivil 2.0 and beyond. We now have a commander-in-chief who rejects science, data, analysis and openly traffics in his own (conspiracy theory driven) set of 'facts' AND we have opposing forces in politics (loosely organized around our two parties) who no longer share an agreement about that our goal should be to find ways to achieve agreements, to work together, to compromise, to be good sports--gracious winners and losers who put respect for the game (democracy) first.
It is like he has added gaslighting to the normal messaging. Like he has added all the tools an abusive man uses to victimize women.
