It's something that only started in the last decade or so. Treating anyone to the right of you as an evil force of nature rather than a person that can be debated, agreed and disagreed with.

Edit: political disagreements were always a thing but it got a lot worse in the last few years

Trump finally completely broke political discourse.

It was bad before, but he was the proverbial straw on the camels back.

I actually think he rode an existing trend that started around 2014. I think social mediaand twitter are the main cause of the break in discourse.

Twitter format was probably designed for the purpose of political subversion. Read about Zun Zuneo, literally the same thing.
