Since when did we ever "speak the same language or recognize the same truth". We've always been cut off from one another. Racially, regionally, econonically, etc. The civil war being the obvious one. America is a country of many nations. America, the empire, is an empire of many countries.

This is just silliness from the media. This snapshot that the media portrays doesn't really exist in the real world. People just live their lives. Go outside and see for yourself. And even if it did, it doesn't matter. The red/blue, left/right, etc doesn't matter.
Things fall apart when the elites are divided. And the two dominant forces in american life (political, media, economic, cultural, geopolitical, etc ) are imperialism and zionism. I don't see any division amongst the elites on that. Left/right, red/blue, up/down, flat earther/round earther, etc. So I don't think anything is falling apart as there are no signs of fracture.
