The Balkanization of the US has a lot to do with the recent advent of opposing political views making a person "evil". Two prime examples;
1. Abortion: If you are pro choice then you kill children and advocate moral degeneracy. If you're pro life then you're a misogynist who wants to enact a real life Handmaids Tale.
2. Gun ownership: If you're pro 2A then you're compensating for inadequate manhood, you're a redneck with delusions of grandeur about taking on "tyranny" and you kill children (notice how "the children" comes up a lot on both sides?). If you're anti-2A then you're anti-American and want to disarm the populace so you can enact your tyrannical rules while you wipe your ass with the Constitution.
I could make a similar list for other hot topics such as illegal immigration, social programs and law enforcement. Point being, people used to be able to respectfully disagree, now extremism is becoming the norm. Extremism begets more extremism. We desperately need a rational, even tempered moderate POTUS, and soon, if we're going to stop this self-perpetuating cycle.
