re: Is this the most divided our nation has been in your lifetime?

The thing is all of this stuff we call "politics" is just a preference. And it's ok for you to pick one side or the other. But what's not ok really is to treat other Americans as though they're scum and not human just because we disagree with them. Again, this is done by both sides. Not finger pointing at any one side.

e all believe we're entitled to our preference and we treat it like it's life and death.

This is seen on both sides of the aisle. Not merely a liberal or conservative issue.

I do not agree. There was no large opinion on the right that proscribed left wing views. You would have to go back to McCarthyism to find that.

The cancel culture is a creature solely of the left. The right is starting to adopt it as a reaction.
