>How did US politics become so intensely polarized?
The answer is, "Because of big media (MSM)". They con their viewers day-in-and-day-out, which divides the country into those the don't believe them and those that do. This …. is the source of the major division. Coming together requires everyone to distrust the media, which is happening more every week.
You are right, by the way, fellow anon. The news article you posted was stupid as can be.
