Politics has become utterly toxic.

I think part of the problem is that it's become an identity thing. That's been intentional on the part of political campaign strategists, since it helps them.

It's distressing to see how successful their self-interested manipulation has been.

I'm talking about this in broad terms, not any specific issue, and certainly not just this one. And it's both sides of the issues, not merely one party or the other.

It's the most insidious kind of marketing there is.
