#1 Stupidity and corruption are the enemies. Both are human traits and the humans practising them in America are the enemy and can only be the enemy. Trying to whine that it's "incivility" is both stupid and corrupt.

#2 Dron's Law of Violence: The amount of violence backing order must remain higher than the amount of violence behind chaos.

Since entropy of any sort is conquered only by greater force that itself, it is essential to apply greater and greater violence to hem even social chaos in, keeping it suppressed [you'll never be rid of it]. Now, political censure, discrimination, economic and legal oppression, extra-legal persecution... all are forms of violence. The responsible State uses them all against the clearly identifiable agencies of chaos [from organized narrow interest groups to 'trained marxists' and even anti-social twitterati, yes] that raise their heads from time to time. This is not out of malice, but is the duty of the rulers toward the law-abiding, those that don't wish for utopias but contribute to the continuity of civilization as is [asking only to be left the f#ck alone]. When the ruler fails in this duty, the people themselves must take it up, braving vilification, imprisonment, anything.

A society that fails to wield violence against chaos, allows for greater and greater such agencies until they take over. And polities that allow for greater and greater liberties in the service of progress, ultimately find themselves in regression.That's another law of Dron's, that smart mother#r.
