OK, perhaps. But then there's this...
See, we weren't as divided back when there weren't literal Fascists trying to anti-democratically hold onto power.
The true and deepening divide is absolutely necessary. And we need to crush them, like we crushed Hitler, and for the exact same reasons.

Yeah, we can't legislate (nor prosecute) thoughts & opinions. Only actions.
Well, the GOP surely had members of a fascist bent all along. But those elected to national office had not acted in a fascist way often. But once Obama was POTUS, McConnell couldn't abide acting non-fascist anymore. And it all went nuts.
So yeah. We're absolutely very divided, more than any time since the Civil War. Fascist *actions* of *elected* dudes is why.
