I thought this had to be a joke, but sadly no. We have an idiot in charge.

I get that Trump brought much of it on himself, the man is an ass, but as I said in my initial post on the "F Joe Biden" chant, the officer of POTUS deserves a modicum of respect regardless of the occupant.  Now, I'm not going to pretend I know what's in your mind, but it certainly appears that you only care about civility and treating the POTUS with respect now that Trump is no longer in office.  But don't feel too bad, you've got plenty of company in this regard.

Respect for the office does coincidentally flip flop with the political affiliation of the man in charge, yes.  I'm more amused that the GOP thinks disrespecting the president to his face is resume enough to enter politics. 

Disrespect for the potus isn't new, but it has taken a turn towards being cost of entry or simply essential to your affiliation now.  Left right or whatever, the bigger picture is that "the enemy" has now become your fellow Americans and providing aid and comfort to the enemy remains treasonous.  

It's less about wavering respect for the office, it's about decades of fear in politics becoming paranoia within our own borders.  It's as sad as it is typical, as i see it. 

What's the main policy of your political party?  F*** the other side!  Simple and memorable.  The marketing side of me hates to love how effective it all is.
