Why do Americans want to break things anyway? The economy was doing fine, unemployment was low. What is the trigger that made half Americans go nuts? There does not seem to be a ra…

Everyone except those who died in the camps.

Disagree. Polarisation existed long before Trump. America was going to face this sooner or later. The culture war was always coming.
