WASHINGTON — They came blowing whistles. In a resonant flourish, President Trump spoke to the anti-abortion marchers as senators pondered his fate a few blocks away. It is a strange political moment, and one that raises the question: What do American partisans think of one another? Democrats described Republicans with words like “invasive species” and “missing brain cells.” Young Democratic women said they would not consider dating Republican men. Republicans described Democrats as “dangerous,” and acting in a way that “defied common sense.” Impeachment, said one 85-year-old Republican, amounted to “bovine defecation.”
