I don’t remember it being so. Being a Republican was once more of a class issue, for example. Owning class supported the party of big business, while working class supported Democrats, the party of labour unions. And before that, the Republicans represented the North, and a majority of Democrats represented the South. That’s why there were so many pro-slavery Democrats and abolitionist Republicans. But whenever [b]today’s[/b] Republicans try to cling to [b]that[/b] legacy I always ask them why, in 2018, [b]they’re[/b] the ones fighting to keep the Confederate flag flying. 😒

@bijouxbroussard Do you think that the political parties of America are going through a new evolution? There seems to be tension there with at least two major factions within each party who dislike and distrust each other but agree to hate the other party even more.
America also seems hugely divided into camps on culture and identity, like nowhere else in the world. I get the impression that when someone is called a liberal (or libtard) the intonation is that of someone who feels they are talking to a different species. People are 'othered' for their political views.

@Burnley123 True, you did and have. Just the phrasing is really good.
