One does not need to look much further than the nightly news to see that American politics and, by extension, American society has become highly polarized. Executive orders on immigration, midterm election turnover, racial tension in Ferguson, the #gamergate controversy and many other issues have deeply divided people in recent months. Birthers, truthers, occupiers and other so-called "social justice warriors" of all stripes have risen up as the moderate middle ground seems to erode further each day. The media and politicians of both parties constantly add fuel to the fire by painting issues in broad strokes in cynical attempts to craft narratives that grab ratings and votes. And as voters and lawmakers entrench themselves in homogeneous camps further and further from the middle, government has reached an unprecedented level of gridlock as the current Congress seems destined to go down in history as the least productive since the "Do Nothing Congress" of 1948.
