      I don't think blaming individuals makes any sense. There's a worrying trend in political polarization, ideological silos. It's unlike what we've seen in the past. http://www.people-press.org/2014/06/12/political-polarization-in-the-american-public/ …pic.twitter.com/P5COZpDUjk

      "Americans with different political views are a threat to our nation" is bad rhetoric, dangerous to our democracy, and increasing over time. I see Trump as a symptom of that growing divide, but don't know causes or solutions.pic.twitter.com/8URBhKpILs

      Yea, I've seen these. And to be honest I am not sure there is any immediate solution. I recently re-examined a book (for a video I am doing) from 2008 called "State of Confusion: Political Manipulation and the Assault on the American Mind" by a psychologist who worked in DC.

      I live it every day; my wife is decidedly more conservative than I am, and her family are the furthest to the right it is possible to go. I grew up Republican, in an era when you could be a Rockefeller Republican: pro-intellectual, fiscal conservatism, state&local govt centric.

      From age 18, when I cast my first vote for Reagan to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, I voted 99% Republican and was very conservative. Beginning in the 1990s the rising craziness of the Republican Party increasingly bothered me until I finally left after the last straw (Iraq).

      I remember...I think I was there for the final conversion. I didn't like Clinton either but I found the bigotry, homophobia and anti-science of the Gingrich Republicans worse. The last election I voted R in congress was 1996 - for Morella who was a reasonable person.

      Then I end up in Virginia, where if you voted R the state candidates literally wanted to ban birth control! The Democrats were centrist vs radical ideologues foaming at the mouth about basic health necessities for women. Al Gore was a centrist technocrat (my favorite).

      Finally when I arrived in Philly in 2016 Trump was actively running for president, I was at the DMV, and they gave me the choice again, R or D. I registered as a Democrat for the first time in my life. There is no middle ground any more, they've pulled too far into crazy town.

      I reached that point after the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

      That made me specifically despise Bush/Cheney too, as did him squandering our surplus on tax breaks rather than paying down the national debt. That's not what I think of when I think of what a Republican should be, but probably hasn't actually existed since about 1994.

      Try 1980. Republicans haven't been the party of fiscal responsibility since before Reagan.

          True, Bush Sr. was the last gasp of attempted fiscal responsibility. He lost reelection, and Republicans haven't shown any evidence that their rhetoric about fiscal responsibility is anything but lies since 1992.
