A culture war that has been nurtured for 35ish years has inertia that cannot be diminished quickly. This is what the "establishment" Republicans and never-Trumpers just don't seem to "get". The war's outrage feeds on itself, to wit, the obsessions with CRT, schools promoting sex reassignment, and Q's pedophiles, even without external fuel from the Orange Menace, etc. If most of my neighbors were to sit down with a Dem supporter and listen to that person's views, they would not believe much of it, as it wouldn't align with the fears that have been instilled in them for years. There's no good or likely fix - and the chance of secession and/or civil war is high, especially in MAGA-dominant areas where most people are well-armed.
It will never diminish while every media outlet carries it 24/7. I am so damn sick of hearing about these people I could vomit! The more noise, the noisier. And this is just spreading noise, it is not disinfectant. If it bleeds, it leads. Sadly, we will do all the bleeding.
And probably even earlier. The Robber Barons were probably the Trumps of their day. Certainly FDR faced daunting challenges. Luckily he also had some good people in the military and govt.
