It certainly seems to me that the space between the political camps has gotten not necessarily larger, but more vicious for sure. I think most of the time we get along anyway becuase we avoid those sort of subjects, or keep quiet if they happen to come up. But I would agree that there are parts of our own country who just can't stand other parts, and vice-versa, and seem incapable of responding to each other with anything more than kneejerk vitriol. It's sad. The chip on people's shoulders seems inordinately large.
