The polarization of American life had been going on for years before Trump was even a political figure, says Professor Grant Reeher. But, "what is different now, and what gives this a sharper edge is the fact that emotions are running so high, first of all; second, that the stakes are really, really high; and third the fact that the president has made very strong statements about these things." Reeher was interviewed for The Hill article "The Memo: Virus crisis deepens dangerous divides." 05/19/20
