Polarization between far right and left is due to the indoctrination of ideology that produced a president Donald Trump. Those in the middle pretty much realize the reality is that Trump is neither the cause of good nor bad, nor is he worthy of credit nor blame.
He is the SYMPTOM, not the disease...….. He is the symptom of a culture that refuses to initiate imagination and foresee possibilities.....To his credit, he isn't nearly as blind as the standard Republicans. He may actually learn, and he seems to try to do so, despite his low mentality.
I don't say this to put him down, because someone like McConnell or Rubio would be killing us softly while speaking softly, and we'd never know it. .....Trump is the result of a culture that believes nothing can happen if it hasn't happened before.
Remember the idiot Republicans who said that they couldn't foresee the kamikaze attacks on the world trade center because it never happened before?....Well, it can only happen once, duh......To the feeble minded the saying "we will survive" makes sense, when it just means that whomever survives will be there to survive. It doesn't mean anything else.
So yeah, those who are still around six months from now will say "oh, you're right, we did make it", and there will be no one around to deny that they made it.....we have a culture that wants to wait for it to be too late to do anything about a problem.
And I won't say Democrats are perfect about this, because they aren't. The Democrats also have a conservative mind set, and are divisive, too, but not one tenth as much as Republicans, because that's all the Conservative movement is, total acceptance of disaster with no foresight at all..
So Trump is a symptom, not a cause. He's a symptom of "fake news" that we've gotten from both right and left, from editors as well as politicians..
Thus, to anyone with an IQ over 59.99, God is clearly telling us what Samuel told his people.."you want a king, instead of a search for the will of a good God, well, this is what you get! A blithering idiot!"...plain as day Saul and Trump, same thing. So plain, a caveman could see it, but it looks like too many people don't see it.
Those who don't know History, or refuse to accept it, well they have been proven to surely repeat it.

This is neither to condemn nor praise Trump. He's just another King Saul. Just remember he loved David at first, and David did many terrible things, even being unforgiving on his deathbed towards a man who threw a rock at him.

I see the similarities in terms of them both being drunk with power, targeting political enemies, and becoming untrusting of their most closest allies. However, I see King Saul as almost like a Shakespearean tragedy and is much in align with The Tragedy of Macbeth. Saul started out as a honorable man of God, but his arrogance and pursuit to maintain control became his undoing. On the other hand, Trump was always a braggart and a lover of himself.

He’s a conman who knows how work the poorly educated rubes and appeals to human greed, mean-spiritiness, and abject pettiness. His followers don’t give shit about actual political ideology, because that requires thought and takes away from their laying around time. He’s not a symptom any more the Kingfish or Mussolini were. There’s a sucker is born every minute.

I've been saying that since Trump was elected but some still think things will go back to normal if Biden is elected. You may get rid of Trump in 2020 but populism from both the left and the right won't be going away.

Not Saul. I'd consider him more like a Sardanapalus.
