It isn't just that Democrats and Republicans agree on less and less these days. It's that they hate each other's guts.
In Congress and in state houses across the country, differences of opinion are widening when it comes to taxation, social issues and more. Beyond any specific disagreement about a particular bill or budget, though, negotiation has become trickier as legislators seek compromises with people whom their constituents simply detest.
Ordinary Americans increasingly view members of the opposite party with contempt and scorn. They see them as less intelligent and more selfish, according to pollsters and political scientists. And parents are more likely to say they wouldn't even want someone in the other party to marry their children.

Simple
The more powerful and intrusive the government becomes, the more disagreements will exist. (struggles for power)
This is because the Democrats are moving to the left faster than the Republicans.
The end result of Democrats taking Saul Alinsky’s advice and setting out to DESTROY their opponents.
People tend not to like you very much if you try to destroy them.
Reading the comments section on that article is a special kind of infuriating.
*shrug* It’s the WaPo.
It's how they stay on top.
It’s self-defense.
The Democrat Party has declared war on us.
And the GOPe cares only for feathering its own nest.
Two for two.
The more power the Federal Government, the more vital it is to control it. This is why the return on lobbying is better than the return on any other investment.
And then we will have civil war.
Think WWE wrestling... Dems and GOPe. Looks like a fight, sounds like a fight, but is scripted theater, the outcome decided. The Dems have sold their souls to Satan, the GOPe is in negotiations to do same. The battle for freedom is now entirely within the GOP... insurgents vs establishment. Notice the GOPe reprobates HATES the Tea Party as much as do the DemWits.
Democratic treason goes back at least to the time of Jackson, as the grave monument of Nathaniel Grigsby made clear.
Liberals, and we know you read FR, are advised to look up Grigsby’s gave on the internet.

One of our former political parties has become a cult, with one true faith and articles of belief.
You cannot question these articles of belief, because if you do you have proven yourself to be an unbeliever and a bad person.
And as a result, there's no point in trying to have a debate about policy with these people, because they can't be reasoned with or persuaded by evidence.
No shi’ite!
This is why the founders disliked political parties.
I think that, in a representative democracy, political parties are inevitable. Perhaps not desirable, but inevitable.
Democrats are less intelligent, and they are selfish - too selfish to give their own money to charity, so they give other people’s money. Democrats vary from stupid to pure evil, and I would not approve of one of my children marrying one. Liberals are at best disgusting, petty tyrants, except for Hillary whose tyranny would not be petty.
