If you ask denizens of this site - no.
My personal experience is less so extreme.

I am way more right libertarian than one of my hippie boomer co workers. If we ignore specific politicians, we are not that far apart and actually are quite good friends. We have pretty good conversations but there is no hate as she knows I am not a N@xi and I know she comes from a point of view of wanting to be fair and just. We disagree on some things but neither of us are closed minded.

The anger fed by the elites is really depressing. I wish people stuck with the idea of questioning what they are told but i think it may be too late for that. I predict harsh responses to this - my one and only political comment.
Remember, all of us have different experiences and hatred is counterproductive.
