Why are the members of each political party so polarized today?

It is somewhat hard to say. The country has become more diverse over the years. People came from all over the world in large numbers. There is more economic diversity- the rich have gotten richer and are willing to spend money to keep it that way. We have a large number of illegal immigrants who do not want to learn English and want less Immigration restrictions. We have groups who want large families and more government help and we have groups with no children who have little interest in making it easier to raise children or have better schools. Letting women vote and the women's rights movement tended to polarize. Gays have developed political power and have become somewhat of a divisive force.
