Families are being ripped apart at the border, a Republican Congressman retweeted a Nazi sympathizer, and Trump White House officials are being protested with increasing regularity. It is feeling pretty rough out there – so just how bad is it? There have been some folks looking to the Civil War when discussing the current landscape of political polarization. While it’s not quite that bad, just exactly where are we on the scale of ‘everything’s fine’ to ‘Civil War’? Chris Hayes and Vox editor-at-large Ezra Klein have been checking in on this very question throughout the Trump administration. In this episode, they talk about unique problems of the American political project, the staying-power of political identities, and what we can learn from the X-Men superhero, Legion.

I only tuned in cause I think Ezra Kline is the cutest nerd I’ve ever seen.
Hey, I fight where and when I can. But I make it a point to keep a sense of humor. If YOU DO NOT LAUGH REAL HARD AT LEAST ONCE A DAY, YOU CAN’T POO RIGHT!

You (plural) are the perfect match of Trump. The accumulation of all stereotypes of Americans walking on two legs. Shallow, appearance driven, uneducated, incurious, loud and vulgar.
You cannot form a coherent argument not to mention a complete sentence.
You only master to repeat buzzwords others have hammered in your unchallanged brain, which impresses nobody.
Wouldn’t I know otherwise, having worked with and beeing acquainted with Americans, I would suppose the aforementioned steroetypes apply to all Americans. But thank god I know better.
@Susanne Härtl Shut up and go play with your *MSNBCannibal Stuffed animals!!*
@She’s my President The reply from a real loser.
Be fan now
Universal public service for all those turning 18 would unify young Americans and expose young people to different races, identities and religions. Kamala Harris has proposed such an idea.
