If you're backpedaling, that's fine, but everyone was addressing your claims that Obama empathizing with black parents didn't set the divisiveness bar "quite high".  

And there's a difference between an actual conversation and one based on semantics. To suggest Trump "set the bar" for divisiveness is absurd. POTUS have been divisive for decades. It's just the most folks don't like the side Trump comes down on say they'll say things. Trump has done nothing more to divide the population than any other president before him. Now folk's reactions to his words might add to the divisiveness.

So would it be fair to say: The liberal's reaction to Trump's words and action have set the bar for divisiveness.
