It doesn't make sense, does it?

[Wilson23]

It doesn't make sense that at THIS stage of American history, our society should be politically divided to the point of civil war. What issues divide us, now, that are nearly as important or urgent as those that gave rise to demonstrations and riots in the 1960s and '70s? Yet we are more politically polarized now than at any time since the Vietnam War ended.

Why?!

 

[Wilson23]

We're looking for some factor that changed after the Cold War ended . . . I'm thinking it has somethng to do with globalization. That would explain why similar polarization is happening in Europe.

Sufficient comfort to take everything for granted?

When you have no problems, the smallest irk becomes a major issue.

None of us are hungry enough any more.

In majority of western countries. Plenty are hungry elsewhere.

But that has been pretty much the same at all times since WWII.

But some people could still remember it.

Now, those who knew hardship are the tiny minority

It might also have something to do with the Information Age.

Remember, we are looking for factors that have CHANGED since 1991.

Another reason is anxious reaction to the decline of American Christianity.
