Maybe the word I should have used is civility.
Where is the civility in politics today? You don't have to like people to act civil toward them.
Respect is something one earns. We can respect the office of the presidency, but not the man in it. I would be civil to Trump if I met him, but he has earned zilch from me in the respect department.
I am correcting myself then.
Civility is what is needed now. How hard can that be?
In general, civility in society has declined over the years and that is the real issue. I mean, just look at any high school.
