There are two important reasons/causes, well actually three, why there seems to be this sharp polarization in society, particularly in the political realm. The first is, it's no longer just about political differences, in years past people had different political views that revolved around what and where government should spend money or what government should or should not be involved in, but their views or beliefs about family, marriage, education, work ethic, etc, or in other words their basic moral values were more or less similar, that's no longer the case, makes it very hard to have discussions with others. Second cause of polarization is the radical takeover of the educational system particularly at the university level that has been going on for many years, even reaching into church sponsored schools, hence certain warnings subtle and not so subtle by some of the brethren in recent years about getting church sponsored and supported schools back on track to their basic core and primary mission and the proliferation of charter and private schools. Everyone should read a book titled Debunking Howard Zinn by Mary Grabar. Of course for members of the church we know the main reason for the contention is Satan, he knows time is short and is giving it all he has to destroy the plan and eliminate peace.
