As an outsider, looking in, I can confirm that the polarisation in American politics is steadily increasing. It's just a matter of reading the increasing intolerance in both the social media and the main-stream media. Maybe Americans are too close and can't see the 'forest for the trees' but I feel things are heading to a climax. The other problem is that the US is becoming extremely belligerent in its foreign policy, as it sees the rapidly approaching situation of losing its 'exceptional indispensability No.1 Position' to China. In my humble opinion, it's a neck and neck race between a second American Civil War and a major International War as to which arrives first. I see one or the other (or even both) happening within the next two or three years. I poo-pooed the concept of the 'Fourth Turning' when it first came out in the 1990s. But I am beginning to be convinced of its correctness. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generational_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss%E2%80%93Howe_generatio...
