About a year ago, I said on another message board that this was going to be a very divisive year, politically (I mentioned that because it is a diverse group, and I wanted to prepare everyone). I was told I was crazy - but half of the people are either not speaking, or avoiding the other board.
While I think that we, as a country, are more polarized this year, I also think that the media is thriving on it.
