YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

American politics are getting more polarized over time. 43% of the republican voters consider the democrats to be a threat to the nation. 37% of the democratic voters think the republicans are the real danger to the country. These figures were much lower some decades ago. This antagonism can is also present in parliamentary politics, where it is getting harder and harder to reach a bipartisan agreement to pass any law.

Despite what many media report, this phenomenon traces back way before Donald Trump became president. It cannot be explained with the introduction of social media. In fact, this trend towards polarization traces back to the 80s.

So then... why is America getting so polarized? Why is this a problem? In this video, we answer these questions.
