we're very polarized today. however....
several political leaders were shot in 1968.
we had a F'ing civil war.
some of our founders had a duel to the death.
so no....not the MOST polarized we've ever been.

A brief, opinionated discussion of the subject. Because the recent SC hearings bruhaha have so many pundits chanting that "we're more polarized than we've ever been!!"
No, we fucking aren't. I've been hearing that for four DECADES.
@HomerThompson you know my threads are awesome
I know they story you refer to. Please respond to my witty comeback in the Manafort Pleas, Thank You thread!
Awww c'mon Bob. Don't let yourself get got! I even liked all your posts.I’m good, your 8 quotes have left me thoroughly disinterested. Thanks anyway.
I do. And I think business owners should be able to make their own decisions about who they serve.
I think the division is more publicized, that's all.
Obviously up for debate, but we could/ should be at least five countries, imo.Looking from the outside, the US seems sufficiently divided to become two different natiions.
This. In much of the media, in Hollywood, in academia, and hell, even in restaurants, there is effectively a blacklist against anyone right of center.Remind us, are leftist thugs currently chasing political opponents out of restaurants?
Outrage became a marketable commodity and we can sell advertising on both sides now.
I was just thinking yesterday, I was such a huge Obama fan that I don't know the names of his kidsTrayvon Martin could be Obama's son.
That's my point; it's ridiculous to claim that. It's been steadily claimed for at least the five decades I've been aroundWe obviously are. Boggling that someone could say otherwise.
That may be so.I don't think the polarization is new, but I think the lack of respect for opposing views is at an all time high.
This response is not polarized enough. You need to be either more outraged or more of a pedophileThat may be so.
Why not both?This response is not polarized enough. You need to be either more outraged or more of a pedophile
Absolutely.Outrage became a marketable commodity and we can sell advertising on both sides now.
