The country is a tiny bit less divided than the time it went to war with itself to decide whether slavery was bad. Not much, but a little.

I'd say a mixture of Reaganomics helping make things suck for non rich people and the abolition of fairness doctrine being in place when alternative news sources started to proliferate. We're seeing groups of people living in totally different worlds with exclusive "facts" and figures. This is why you have people angry at Kenyan Muslim Obama and the coastal elites because "they" want to take our guns and our gas stoves and Jesus!!1!!

They aren't being fed facts, they're being fed propaganda and many lack the critical thinking skills to distinguish lies. This is why you have poor people giving their last dollar to super successful multi billionaire Trump because he needs your help.

A bonus point for the internet exposing people to a lot of information.
