I think it's reached new levels. I can remember dinner table debates and my, you know, watching my parents and my uncles and aunts like arguing over politics when I was younger. And now people just like storm off from the table. There's people don't even want to hang out as much. Because of the personality cult of Trump, and he is like such a polarizing person that it's not even as much about politics anymore. It's about specific personalities. Yeah, they don't like Trump's policies, but more so they think that he is a just like narcissist in a crook type thing.
