    This is interesting point: end of Cold War ended broad consensus holding USA together, made polarization more acceptable as an option.https://twitter.com/sadogre/status/888617056161157120 …

        My grandfather used to say the end of the Cold War was the greatest threat to the US. Without an Other, what do we define ourselves against?

        We lost a "common" enemy. Suddenly how do we make out own country better? Is this where Religious Right finally found influence?

        Translation: The end of the Cold War allowed the Right Wing to make Democrats the enemy as opposed to the Russians. #un-American
