Polarizing ‘R Us

Polarizing ‘R Us  
                                                                                                                                                  I  thought there must be something wrong with my news feed: “Obama’s ratings have been consistently among the most polarized for a president in the la  st 60 years.”         And there was - it was actually an old feed, from way last year. Here’s the latest take on the polarization problem: it’s all Maggie’s fault.
That’s right, it turns out, Margaret Thatcher is responsible for all of today’s rancorous polarization, along with all of the assorted political “derangement syndromes.”
To the many accomplishments for which the late Margaret Thatcher is now rightly being celebrated, let us add one that is usually less remarked but no less remarkable: she inaugurated the era of modern political polarization.
