You definitely have drank the koolaid with trump. Trumps 1st term might have had some legitimacy. But his 2nd term is only for revenge on anyone who criticized him he is setting America back decades with the way he’s turned into a authoritarian police state, ruined scientific institutions with years of excellence, and is now responsible for the 2 longest shutdowns in American history. The history textbooks will not be kind to trump he’s in this presidency for himself
that said, @OP the polarization in politics started getting bad in the mainstream with the tea party movement, and is more likely rooted with the launch of Fox News and its ilk (Limbaugh etc) in the 80s and 90s Trump took that opportunity and ran with it. He’s responsible for supplanting GOP “beliefs” with his cult of personality tho
