But they will fail in a way that the participants will see as confirming their views of the other side. Eventually, participants on all sides come to regard civil disagreement as a pointless endeavor, given the irrationality and depravity of those with whom they disagree. Our democratic aspirations are thus undermined, but from the inside. Civility is turned against itself; it breeds its own discontent.

      Hence, our task in the following chapters is not to make a case for civility. Nor need we present a defense of democracy as involving an ethos of civility. Our readers already take themselves to be committed to the view that democracy requires citizens to engage in civil political debate. There’s no doubt about that. What’s more, our readers believe themselves to be proficient at civility. They see the troubles with public discourse as emerging mainly from the public vices of those on the other side. Our task instead is to propose a way of diagnosing the ways in which civility breaks down, even among citizens sincerely committed to it.
