Like the divisive previous two presidents?

I feel like we're in slippery slope territory.  I didn't think GW Bush was great, but I thought people calling him Hitler was absolutely ridiculous, and him getting personally blamed for 9/11 was also ridiculous. 

I don't think Trump is Hitler either.  Some do.  But we are clearly getting more divisive, it seems like a downward trend.  Right to be wrong, or a culture change or large unifying event might reverse this.

The Americans chose a loud boor over someone who they feel is corrupt.  To put things into context, there have been two huge events and the way that they were handled that has divided the USA quite sharply.

Two huge events ?
