Rob, I do agree. The message, like most in the US are extrapolated to the N-th degree and while "truth" is there its in such a limited quantity, it's almost impossible for a thinking mind to find it..... I say this as a Liberal/Democrat, it exists on both sides of the ideology.

As far as I'm concerned, in my 67 years in the US, it's always been this way. To get a "vote", you have to separate yourself and to do that today it takes a pretty obtuse opinion.

It isn't just the US. In the last decade numerous European Countries have migrated to the Right, some considerably.

Regarding a Civil War, a reminder it's ALWAYS been the progressive "opinion" that has won wars. Conservative opinions not any......

Here in Mexico, what we call conservative comes nowhere close to the fanaticism we see in the USA and parts of Europe. Mexico is progressing and moving forward, even though we remain one of the most Catholic countries in the world. Yet we've decriminalized and legalized abortion across the nation, state by state. We've insisted on being represented by 50% women, and we also include transgender people in our political environment as part of our society and culture. Yes, there is some pushback, but it's mostly hollow and based on phony machismo and ignorant intolerance. But unlike what's happening in the USA, no one is seeking to take over and destroy the nation's institutions because we've dared to ACCEPT and tried to INTEGRATE people with all their differences into our public life.

In the USA, conservatives in Great Britain caused the U.S. Revolution to be fought by liberals against an intolerant monarchy. The Civil War was similar: intolerant conservatives of the racist South attacked the more tolerant and relatively liberal northern states. They got their asses handed to them both times by resistance based on liberal ideology. I have no doubt liberals will again rise to the occasion in the States.
