[quote=Anonymous]Fascinating research out of Pew. [img]https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/FT_22.02.22_CongressPolarization_chamber_party_new1.png[/img] "The polarization in today’s Congress has roots that go back decades" https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/03/10/the-polarization-in-todays-congress-has-roots-that-go-back-decades/ What has led this change? In my view, American monied elites - who truly shape the national discourse - have gone off the deep-end. The Erik Prince's of today are not the Andrew Carnegie's of yesteryear. They build private armies, instead of building public libraries. The politicians they buy have followed suit in implementing more and more radical policy agendas. What also concerns me is that both MSM and academics are apt to try to "both sides" this partisan extremism. No one wants to call it for what it is, because they are worried about offending advertisers or donors. [/quote]
