I have to laugh....
For the rest of you, not Goosey, who actually have independent thought, you know "this much chaos and divisiveness" is caused by the Left. Trump has been targeted by the Left and has had to deal with one hoax after another, all the while it, the Left, has been engaged in the very things they accuse him of. Trump has had to deal with the Fake News, The Swamp, the Deep State, all aided and abetted by the Russians and the Chicoms, and Islamic Terrorists....oh, and the Mexican Drug Cartels as well, and funded by the likes of Nazi George Soros. Trump has had to react to attack after attack, he has not started any of it.
Yep, it is appropriate for the other party to be "the loyal opposition" but unfortunately, the Dems have not stuck to acceptable debate and offering alternatives but rather have crossed into outright hostility all rooted in "winning" for their political party. The good of the nation and the American people be damned!
Trump is not like past GOP presidents/office holders who kowtow to The Swamp just to "get along." He pushes back, so yeah, the level of rhetoric has risen because for the first time, really, there are TWO sides stirring the pot, not just one side (Left/Swamp).
