But the discussions are extremely polarized in the US right now. No other country is even close.

  Do you have any data supporting this? I'd like to think I could be an accurate judge of this myself, but given that my consumption of media is extremely biased by my location and languages of literacy, I don't think my anecdotal data is worth anything.

    Consider the situation in Michigan. Has anything like that happened in any other country?

      I was talking about online discussions (e.g., comments on Blog Maverick, etc). Australians have been very supportive on the whole of measures here, but I've still seen some absolutely baffling discussions online that descend into immediate, heated disputes. We had one notable protest in Australia in which a few were arrested and a policeman injured, but no, people here don't walk around showing off guns thankfully.
