I hear it all the the time the America is very divided. On the verge of a civil war. I agree with this but when would y’all say this happened? What was the moment that is cemented in your mind that you agreed that it is divided?
For me it was Obama but maybe it was earlier.

Any sense of civility was lost during Obama's reign.

It has intensified with the diversification of information distribution - it is much easier to get caught in an echo chamber or niche mindset due to the internet (the poliboard included). When Americans could only get their information from 3 channels and big city newspapers, and only eccentrics doubted the narrative, it was a hell of a lot easier to be on the same page, even with disagreements.

No specific date I can point to...but I will say it was the day the government became so pervasive in our lives that to ignore its power, whether you were scared of it or wanted to exploit it, became unavoidable.

McCarthy was right about everything.

The communists played the long game. Cultural Marxism has been going strong for a century but it really began exploding around Vietnam. It was clear at that point there was a major schism in the country that wasn't there before (well, since the Civil War, an unrelated schism).

January 22, 1973. That was the day SCOTUS voted to legalize genocide (as in abortion). Fractured this nation right in half. Never been the same since.
