"...What is happening now is not normal politics...."

20. A house divided against itself cannot stand.

Jesus spoke of that in the bible, and Abraham Lincoln invoked that phrase in a speech against slavery.
We are a divided house now, and the situation must be resolved soon or we could collapse as a nation.
We no longer have civil discourse between the left and the right. People like Trump and his ilk have fanned the flames of fear, hatred, and intolerance, resulting in escalations of violent rhetoric and actions.
There are those on the left who have also done this, although to a much lesser degree.

This is the greatest challenge our nation has faced since the civil war. The "no kings" demonstrations are a good start, and a reaction to the "crazy" that we're seeing as part of the Trump administration is building. The next 11 months will show which way things will go.
Will sane, responsible people stand up and reign in the "crazy"? I certainly hope so.
