Yeah, I ask myself that too. Maybe this has all been boiling under the surface for a long time, but the acceleration feels quicker and quicker since Trump became an every day household name.

I know a lot of the political polarization we have now is due to Newt Gingrich normalizing obstruction-no-matter-what as a political strategy. But it still kind of doesn’t make sense to me no matter how I think of it. People really ought to be less manipulable than this. The internet must be a large chunk of the problem, but we obviously cannot put that cat back into the bag at this point.
