from where I'm sitting (Canada) the tone of discourse amongst the divided opinions seems pretty polarized. Do these differences permiate everyday life?
I ask, because most Americans I know live in "blue states" mostly here on the west coast.. I see pundits like Al Franken or Jon Stewart on one hand and Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Anne Coulter on the other.. I mean, I realize its just TV - but the two sides seem to hate each other and are diametrically opposed.. whats' going on? will there ever be room for common ground?? at what point does the rhetoric cease? at the end of the day to you respect each other as Americans or resent each other for betraying one each side seems to hold as national "ideals"...
I realize this is a broad topic - just interested in the perspective of the "average American"...
