Nothing in my lifetime has divided this country like Obama.
That should be told far and wide, that is where this all started
Legalizing abortion in 1973 did a pretty good job of dividing the country. Every gun control debate does a pretty good job of dividing the country. As it stands today, we are very much divided. Half the country are city-dwelling liberals while half the country are rural conservatives, (by and large with lots of exceptions of course). And we are split 50/50. This is why a tiny minority of swing voters in the middle controls everything. When these people vote a bit to the left or the right, they drive the result.
