Honestly at the core its Old vs Young that's dividing the country and then its race, and sexuality comes in third but they all bounce back to old vs young.
As I get older, I am realizing this more and more. I don't remember the moderation that I remembered growing up.
All I see these days is extreme polarization in viewpoints and political beliefs. It is not generally as apparent in person, but it is much more apparent in forums.
It seems the days of convincing someone of something or being convinced by anyone of something are gone.
Thanks
Our country is being nibbled away, bit by bit, by progressives who think that they can steal the enterprise, make it a progressivist mecca and that it will still produce the same sort of wealth as it did under capitalism.
We, as a nation, are being gang-raped by Liberals and the DemocRAT party, and some of us refuse to go down easily.

Great posts so far, to the poster who questioned my race. I am of mixed race white/puerto-rican. I appreciate the information that you are providing so far.

Religious fundamentalism & secular governance living side by side in a highly-advanced, wealthy democracy. Only western country I know of where the religious faction has such leverage.

It was bound to happen.
Progressives for the last 100 years have been trying to "fundamentally change America". You start by trivializing the constitution.....by controlling education.
Constitutional conservatives have been fighting them ever since.
Now you throw in a master of deceit (obama) who preys an peoples fears and emotions, and you start to change minds.

It's sad really.
You sound like a typical listener of George Noory's coast to coast... maybe you should sit out a couple plays.
It's honestly the media that's polarizing us, and the nation being slaves to the almighty television is falling for it hook, line, and sinker.
As long as we have this idiotic democrat vs republican mindset, our nation will never honestly recover.
