The way I see it, it's never been civil from the POV of the people experiencing direct harm because of the actions of these politicians. Take for example Obama and W. Bush acting like comrades. That has a civil veneer, yes, but the implication speaks volumes about both of them, none of it good. No US president has ever been even remotely what can be described as "decent" and "proper." All have supported and committed atrocities (with the possible exception of William Henry Harrison). US politics has always involved incivility and violence. So yes, in my opinion maybe it's good that people who are typically unaffected by these atrocities can finally see these politicians for who they are.
