It feels like you are being pushed to take a side and you can no longer walk the middle road as I use to do. You get called names like snowflake or intolerant or racist or whatever is in vogue for people to call you that day.
It is like you are not only being told what to think you are being told you had better think like us or you are (fill in the blank).

Of-course, it is becoming more divided because the goon (believer of white power) is in white house now!...Modern age republicans, good for nothing fellows but always ready to war, steal people's wealth and manipulating foreign politics that further creates trouble for the world!...He'll not only divide USA but will cause mayhem for the world by instigating [b]'World War 3'[/b]!!!

@questionWeaver Oh!...So, you're a republican!...It's a mere clash of ideologies Sir!...Didn't we enjoy debating over my view-point about North Korea Vs USA situation?...It was a good debate!...We didn't curse each other!...:)
Not ideology at all
You are suggesting violence
I do not spend time with those that incite domestic unrest
You now fit neatly in the category of hater-white supremist
Told folks if I met one or suspected one, I would distance myself.
Later

Except for a few brief periods, I think its always been this way.
The Civil War, the Great Depression, and Vietnam were in fact much worse than most of what we agonize over now.
Money, power, and privelge have always divided us more than politics. But we keep fooling ourselves that we can fix the problem by just changing parties.

I can't disagree with any experience that painful and personal.
But I wonder how much of what we see and hear now is the effect of individual access to mass media. Is it possible we've always had about the same number of people, with the same extreme views? Has the internet just given them a new way to express and magnify their fringe politics?

@BatRinseRepeat That's a fair point. I'm probably feeling shell shocked because these people are deciding the Bay Area is the place to cut their teeth on the "Hate Speech = Free Speech" movement. I'm not used to having to deal with that as much in what has been a bastion of liberal, progressive thought.
