Trump booed at World Series

One of the biggest and most accurate criticisms of Trump is the way in which he has lowered the esteem of the office of POTUS. He has taken a trend of divisive and uncivil partisanship and ratcheted it up to 11 as he violates so many of the norms that were in place as the guardrails of our democracy. The chanting at his rallies that he encourages is one of those examples. However, if you find yourself in disagreement with that chanting but don't feel the same about examples such as what occurred at the Nats' game, then it is likely your issue lies in a more partisan disagreement rather than the overall discouragement with the lack of civility in politics.

It's not about the chanting being right or wrong, that is a subjective judgement an individual has to make for themselves, it is about being honest with yourself about the current state of politics in this country.

Just my two cents.

Personally I have only referred to the booing.

The chanting was just a little "right back at ya" for a campaign ran on his opponent being "dirty" and well, you can see how Trump is.  That's not just violating norms...that's possible impeachment level activity.

But the right has made it that even the booing was "wrong" because we must respect the office.  No one booed the office.  They booed Trump.

And his supporters are just in a tizzy that anyone would say the public can boo a president who called people "human scum" in a tweet while in office.

Makes me giggle that they then think everyone ELSE is "raging".
