Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

A Call for "Brass": Nicklaus alluded to past American overconfidence, contrasting it with a famous moment at the 1983 Ryder Cup where he urged his U.S. team to "show me some brass,"

And no, it’s not like that in Europe.
