Strategy for civility

I think the only chance for more civil discourse is if the President becomes a watch dog and calls people on occasions that go too far; or let Biden do it. But we have to stop "accepting" it. You quote the person exactly and you explain why the comment is irrational. You have to embarrass those who do this and make it clear that it's not acceptable. All this happens because we LET IT HAPPEN. The President, or his spokesperson, should take the lead on this. We have to embarrass the political loudmouths into civility by showing them they are caught at it and the behavior is unacceptable to most of us.
