The hosts Chenjerai Kumanyika and Jack Hitt make swaggering pronouncements of their work as "ransacking American history" and "punching it in the face," but the idea underpinning "Uncivil" — that the cultural and political factors that divided Americans and erupted into war are still in play today — is hardly a Gladwellian counternarrative.

Just this summer, Facebook used its hate speech policies to censor queer artists and activists for using words like "dyke" and "fag"; Twitter booted several leftist activists, apparently for engaging in uncivil counterspeech; and YouTube's algorithms deleted masses of videos from the Syrian civil war that activists had archived for use in war crimes investigations.

Here's what they have to say: Evidence suggests that negativity in advertising can have a backlash effect on the sponsor (Pinkleton 1997) and that personally-focused, trait-based negative messages (especially those that are uncivil) tend to be seen as less fair, less informative and less important than more substantive, policy-based messaging (Fridkin and Geer 1994; Brooks and Geer 2007).

"A distinctly social type of polarization that includes political prejudice, anger, enthusiasm, and activism" has superseded political conflict over issues, Lilliana Mason of the University of Maryland, argues in her new book, "Uncivil Agreement": An electorate that increasingly treats its political opponents as enemies, with ever-growing levels of prejudice, offensive action, and anger, is a clear sign of partisan polarization occurring within the citizenry.

For those seeking to unravel what happened in the 2016 election, "The Space Between Us" is one of the most consequential of recent political books, a list that also includes two I have written about before: Lilliana Mason's "Uncivil Agreement: How Politics Became Our Identity" and the forthcoming "Identity Crisis: The 2016 Presidential Campaign and the Battle for the Meaning of America," by John Sides, Michael Tesler and Lynn Vavreck.

Not only the play, written by Emily Mann and directed by Diane Paulus, but also two movies are in the works: Julie Taymor's "My Life on the Road," adapted by the playwright Sarah Ruhl from Ms. Steinem's memoir of the same title, which stars Julianne Moore, and Dee Rees's "An Uncivil War," about the battle to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, with Carey Mulligan as the young Ms. Steinem.

As for Trump's uncivil speech—the insults, the petty meanness, the crudeness, the talk about hand size, the assurance, on national TV, that his would-be Presidential dick is up to the job, his mastery of the jaw-droppingly untrue personal smear (Obama is Kenyan, Ted Cruz's dad was in cahoots with Lee Harvey Oswald, U.S. Muslims knew what was "going on" pre-Orlando), which he often dishonorably eases into the world by attaching some form of the phrase "many people have said this" ( The world is flat; many people have said this.
