I think the main reason we have a “perceived” problem is nobody talks in person anymore. Most everything is online and your not worried about getting punched in the face anymore when you tell someone “*+#*^^{+*}^%^<>£”

Back before all the social media I used to talk politics all the time with people that disagreed with me. And we usually found middle ground on at least some issues.

But combine social media and the press and now you have a Them vs. Us situation and common ground is out the window.

People think they have a right to this or that. But in reality the BOR and Amendments are the only real Rights. Most everything else is a law or code based issue.
I have constantly reminded people that “your rights end when they infringe on others rights.” And thats when common sense and courtesy went a long ways. Now the first is so rare its a super power and the 2nd is almost non existent in big cities.

Oh what a difference 100 years makes in a country.
My wife and I sold our house in the city (Seattle suburb) and moved to our small cabin in the mountains. If people have a problem with you they usually come to you. Not tattletale because they are afraid to talk to people. Its very country living. Liberals and conservatives all can shake hands and talk politely. In fact a hunting buddy of mine is very liberal and he about made me piss myself when someone dropped the libtard bomb when they didnt like what he had to say, and he said “Sure, if your willing to admit there are centard and contards then yea I have no problem with you using the word libtard”.
But then again there is almost no TV or Radio reception out there. Maybe there is something to that.
