I noticed this, but it's gotten worse in the last couple decades. I turned off cable and don't miss it. Netflix, Amazon and Hulu and some DVD's and I'm fine. No commercials or bitching about gun bans or whatever. None of that helps me and it doesn't affect my vote, which I'm coming to believe means very little anyway. I seem to get fucked regardless of who is in office.
I feel we are headed toward a civil war but I could be wrong. There's certainly enough hate and division to get one going.
