It's a truly poisonous culture in the USA. Fox News etc for years has been pushing partisan politics to extreme ends. The result is the 'You're either with us or you're against us' mentality along with political tribalism has ultimately reached new highs.
There is no place for moderate anymore. If you are socially liberal you face derision and are labelled a 'communist'. If for some reason you are anti-abortion then by default it seems that person has to be pro-gun, pro-war, anti-immigration. You just get swept into these large categories and the result is everyone feels personally attacked by the other side.
Donald Trump is a lying, deluded, selfish demagogue who is leveraging the anger that is so prevalent in USA. Everyone is so angry and its this is what its brought them to.
