svelteParticipantI’ve changed as the years have passed myself so it is hard to tell, but it sure feels like the Dems and Reps are more polarizing than they were in decades past…especially the Reps.
I’m really curious as to if that is true and, if so, why? Any thoughts?

ParticipantThings have changed. People are not civil any more. Svelte, ask yourself, are drivers more rude than in the past? I think the answer is yes. It is a cultural change that is societal, not just political. People no longer respect the courts and show up in dirty, inappropriate clothing. They no longer respect the presidency and congress. Times have changed. The middle class was just behind the times.

I’m really curious as to if that is true and, if so, why? Any thoughts?[/quote]I noticed the same thing. For me, the polarization hit extreme levels just before the Iraq war in 2002. Loosely quoting GWB “either you’re with us or you’re with the terrorists.” I was against the Iraq war from day 1 and was immediately christened as ‘unpatriotic’ by my Bush-loving peers. Prior to the Iraq war, I paid very little attention to politics at the national level.
