It does seem to be getting worse and worse. There has always been a divide, but it seems like these days there are several people I know who are republicans and they believe in their heart that the democrats will destroy this country and are planning a communist takeover and that the republicans are the only ones that can save it. On the other side I have some friends and relatives who are democrats and feel the exact same way about the republicans. I have two aunts that have had such heated fights over politics that they no longer speak and won't go to the same family functions. It is crazy.
Both parties know that they benefit during election years if there is a strong culture war and it seems like they finally got what they want.
