The Affective Polarization of Gay Marriage

Tribalism definitely underpins a lot of this but it really is you know different lenses to try to explain what's going on in this fraught political world. So we have split on some issues other issues we've stayed more or less in step with one another so ideas about gay marriage for example we haven't gone further apart at all. It's become such an infiltration into our culture and into our psyche that we just this really hate someone who says I'm Republican even if we actually do have some overlap. One of the one of the explanations for the increase in partisanship and hatred is electoral gerrymandering artificially exacerbates partisan elements.
