- I do honestly wonder how our countries are going to hang together. We're not quite as polarized, but getting there. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 09:43 17

  - And I don't understand why the polarization has become quite so prominent in the last 10 years or so. Is it the change of demographics that's making - pmb Aug 30, 09:49 15
    - Social media. you had a much smaller pool of "friends" that you saw what their opinions were. - iSpam Aug 30, 10:10 2
      - Along with that is the ability to curate the information and ideas you are exposed to. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Aug 30, 10:15
      - agreed -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 10:12
    - I think it's more than 10 years or so. There's a number of factors that likely weighs in. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 10:02 1
      - I trace it back to the introduction of the Designated Hitter rule... OF COURSE the world is going to go to shit after that... -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 10:05

      - Canada's one of the least religious countries in the world and it's happening here as well. It's cultural values. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 10:15 3
        
        a lot of regionalism and ignorance based on that regionalism too - Reagen Aug 30, 10:19
        
        Sooooo... You're saying Lin-Manuel Miranda could solve world peace with a musical about hunting? -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 10:16 1
        
        One of the few shows that sorta gets it is South Park. They seem to get it that neither side gets the other. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 10:24
      - But didn't religion exist before? I considered that and there's no question that religion generally is signifcantly impacting the world (not just here - pmb Aug 30, 09:58 4
        
        I tend to attribute it to partisan media -- talk radio, Limbaugh, Fox News, Breitbart, etc. -- nm - mara Aug 30, 10:20 1
        
        I do think this is a big part (as well as the 24 hour news cycle), but the fact that it is happening world-wide is something too. -- nm - pmb Aug 30, 10:36
        
        The speed and volume of sharing cultural information presents more threats to traditional values, as well as more ability to reinforce those values. - znufrii, dad. Aug 30, 10:14

- It is that close and you should already be weeping. -- nm - Jovian Aug 30, 09:42 2

  - Look at 2012. This is not surprising or unexpected. -- nm - TWuG Aug 30, 09:45
Those numbers are smaller though than they were a week ago. -- nm - pmb Aug 30, 09:38 6
- Right, the overall trend of tightening in the race is worrying, though probably shouldn't be too surprising. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Aug 30, 09:48 5
  - On this date in 2012, the average of the polls was: Obama +0.7. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 09:50 4

      - Should Trump only be getting votes from family members? Sure. Is Hilary in trouble? Not by any of the evidence out there. - Reagen Aug 30, 09:58 2

        There's just an ebb and flow to all of this, is all. - Reagen Aug 30, 10:02
