Is there any issue more important this election year than restoring civility to politics?
Yes. The answer is EVERY ISSUE.
The idea that political discourse, particularly in an election year, was EVER civil is the most delusional nostalgia.
That is all.

Vasilisa the Beautiful at the Hut of Baba Yaga by Ivan Bilibin
Today’s unscheduled task: Google “Ivan Bilibin,” think hard about more tattoos.
In the 19th Century having a photograph taken was a lengthy process. Frustrated by the difficulties of getting children to sit still long enough to snap a proper photo , photographers in the 1800’s conceived of a technique called “The Hidden Mother”. Draping a sheet over the mothers head in an attempt to camouflage her as a part of the furniture to better emphasize the child, the mother was then able to hold her infant and keep them still long enough for the camera to get an exposure. Vintage photographs already have a eerie feel to them, but these images of moms as cloaked phantoms take the creep factor to the next level.
