I wonder, though: Were things worse if you go back more than 20 years, or did they just not try to go back further than that?
Granted that there’s a strong political divide in the US, but is it worse now than just the past 20 years, or is it 50, 90, since the Civil War, or even further back?
All the libs I knew 30 years ago were just goofy, but generally not mean. Now the libs I know are irrational and spitting vitriol, and poised for violence.
