In a country from the time before Fox News and Rush Limbaugh, this would have bipartisan support. This hyperpartisan situation is not because of Trump, Trump is a result of this hyperpartisanship. We've had a couple of decades of partisan "news" aimed at otherizing the opposing side. Let's also be clear that while we can talk about bias in news, this is different. These are not news shows that are providing one side or the other, these are partisan pundits that are masquerading as news and calling Democrats evil. This right-wing extremist stuff has been mainstream for a long time and it has convinced Republican voters that Democrats are not acting in good faith.
