Divided Politics, Divided Nation: Hyperconflict in the Trump Era

by Darrell M. West

Book Overview

Why are Americans so angry with each other?

The United States is caught in a partisan hyperconflict that divides politicians, communities--and even families. Politicians from the president to state and local office-holders play to strongly-held beliefs and sometimes even pour fuel on the resulting inferno. This polarization has become so intense that many people no longer trust anyone from a differing perspective.
