I know there has always been tension between the right and left, but in the past few years or so it’s been more cutthroat than ever, it seems, With no signs of slowing down and less and less bipartisan topics existing in the cultural conversation.
It seems like every single topic, concept, or ideology has become binary: Either something that aligns with the left or on the right. And if someone supports it, the other side criticizes them heavily.
I feel like not that long ago, maybe 2011 or so, it was perfectly reasonable and quite normal to have opinions from both sides. Now it seems people are Shuttling more and more to the side that aligns more closely with them and discarding some of their former ideas that a line with the opposite side.
When did this all start? And what do you think made it All start? I know this has been asked quite a few times, but it seems like so many people still deny that there’s a divide in this country.
