Sure, we have had a history of heated and even hateful political rancor ... but

i don't recall every having hateful, incendiary, political venom right out of the mouth of an ignorant, President from his bully pulpit on a daily basis. If you don't believe that Donald Trump is inciting these vile acts of terror, you aren't paying attention or you just listen to FOX and RW talk radio all day long.

The only thing that comes close is the southernors' rhetoric used before the 1860 election, and even then, it was not the president (Buchanan), but the slavery apologists in Congress and elsewhere.

And we know how that ended. Union forever.
