Civility and what’s next? My Concerns.

Civility and what’s next? My Concerns.
There is an ongoing debate here in America, that this “new” lack of civility here, mostly coming from the Republicans and directed towards the Democrats, is wrong and something THEY, the Republicans would NEVER DO THEMSELVES!
Hypocritical, for sure, but the Republicans are now the Party of the Hypocritical, say one thing to get elected and then another, once in. Say you’ll fix Health Care and in fact, even IMPROVE it, then, once in office, do the opposite. So the “Pot calling the Kettle Black”, comes to mind.
So back to this “civility “crisis” we seem to be entering, post haste! Democrats, Independents, and Progressives, have crossed the Civility “Rubicon” and not sure where this leads us as a Nation! If this continues to escalate at this same rate as now, there will be blood in the Streets! Think Charlottesville, ALL OVER THE NATION! Or Worse.
In 4 months, Nov. 7th, there will be 30-40% of this Country, pissed off, losers, and beyond frustration. If the “blue Wave wins then the Trump Base will be up in ARMS, literally and the President will encourage them to do so, for this Fake Election! If the Republicans hold the House and Senate, then the Dems and Independents will be in the streets once more, but with torches and pitchforks! How will they express that frustration and can it be controlled before it expands into a true Civil War?
How do we begin to stop this?
