It seems to me that the US has been very divided since the 2000 election, and it has gotten worse with the presidential candidates we've had since then. And I feel like there are more important things to worry about, but many people are possibly too distracted with an "us vs. them" mindset about political views, and perhaps the political higher-ups are trying to distract and divide us.
