The overwhelming majority of people in this country just want to live normal, unaffected, un-politicized, happy lives. Think about the majority of your family and friends - how many of those people are actual nutcases that would cause violence in order to pass their political agenda? Probably not a lot.
The polarization of those minority groups is wild, though...and definitely a scary thing.
I don't think it's as fringe anymore as people think because it has seeped into mainstream so much. You can barely go anywhere without being subjected to political debate or discourse. My inlaws are conservative and they are not what I would call fringe people at all but in the last two years they have started using things like "Liberals" and "Democrats" in a combative and pejorative way.
