The Democratic Party has moved too far to the left.

Yes, the vitriol and extreme attitudes regarding Trump on both sides are crazier than ever, but again this is the first time we've elected a celebrity-only non-politician to the white house.  We as a country can't elect a man like Trump and then call for civility and reasonability...it's not what we wanted.  We wanted someone who will upset people, force his will upon people/countries/leaders, and be a genuine monster in order to (hopefully) benefit us.  We got it.

The divide, to me, is that people who criticize Trump (in my totally biased and therefore meaningless opinion) are, generally, being rational. 

It is not normal to, as President, call people losers and haters on Twitter. 
It is not normal to use Twitter to announce official political business, especially when there is often no follow up on said tweets.
It is not normal to normalize racism and sexism (whether you personally are racist or sexist is not relevant) with your outbursts at people like AOC and Ilhan Omar. 
It is not normal to blatantly lie at an unprecedented rate about simple and complicated things. 
It is not normal to condemn virtually all media simply because they are reporting things you say and do. 
It is not normal to slur, mispronounce and make up words during multiple speeches over the course of your presidency. 
It is not normal to act like a narcissist. 
It is not normal to call for the imprisonment of your political rivals when no charges have been levied against them, outside of easily debunked conspiracy theories. 
It is not normal to alter weather maps just so that you don't have to admit that you tweeted a warning to a state in error. 
It is not normal to ask other countries to investigate your political rivals, either on personal phone calls with the President of that country (like he did with Ukraine) or just during a speech or press conference (like he did with China and Russia).

It is not normal to defend these things.

So which group is the one "Suffering from a disease?"
