This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime. Note: It is the desire of the leadership of SFDebris Conglomerate that all posters maintain a civil and polite bearing in this forum, regardless of how you feel about any particular issue. Violators will be turned over to Captain Janeway for experimentation.

How is the Us not polarized again?
Polarization is something that happens on both sides. The Democratic Party hasn't moved left, but the Republican party has gone off the deep end.
The Far Right seems to be more reactionary to whatever the Left does. The more acceptance of the so called 'alphabet people' as the Far Right calls it, the more they push back. The more the Left takes on environmental issues the more the Far Right pushes back. And so forth.
The only thing I can think the Left is reacting to with the Far Right is abortion and that is due to what Trump and the Supreme Court has done.

Reactionaryism is reflexive of overall ambivalence towards the left. It ties into the conservative notion of conserving traditional values.
And also though immigration and pro business / protectionist policy tends to be other things that are controversial between sides, if that makes sense to what you're saying.
