If we could at least try to see things from the other person’s point of view and ultimately agree to disagree then we would be much better off 
Yes it is possible to disagree civilly we can agree to disagree or learn to accept other opinions.Yes America would be better off! Although people probably wouldn’t do it!

Have rules of debates like candidates do.Often a message is not heard if the language is offensive..

But none the less it would be better if we could do that.Everyone has different views & opinions in America but when they speak cruelly in order to outright offend the opposition it is wrong. We would get more accomplished as a country & therefore a union if we all learned to strongly voice opinions civilly & put our differences toward a common goal rather than make it a point to see who can bash the other side harsher.
