    I’m thinking so much of it was the first one.

    And when we say “polarization”, I’m sure that’s a bothsiderist way to say: “Republicans/conservatives getting even more crazy”.

      The effect of economic turmoil should not be underestimated. “That guy over there took my house” would boost polarization for sure.
