It’s no secret that “Republicans and Democrats are
more divided along ideological lines – and partisan aversion is deeper and more
extensive – than at any point in the last two decades.” A recent Pew Research Center survey of 10,000 adults nationwide finds that these divisions are
greatest among those who are the most engaged and active in the political
process. Would you
be surprised to learn that these trends manifest themselves in a
variety of ways, both in politics and in our everyday lives.
