Bill Bishop quote America has “pockets of like-minded citizens that have become so ideologically inbred that we don’t know, can’t understand, and can barely conceive of “those people” who live just a few miles away (2008, p. 40) So did our morals change somehow? Why did partisanship increase starting in the 70s?
