     Between 1988 and 2008, the divide between political viewpoints   
     in the United States remained relatively stable. But from 2008   
     to 2020, that divide deepened dramatically, widening more over   
     those twelve years than during the prior twenty combined.   
      
     Virtually every topic turned partisan - from abortion and   
     healthcare to racial equity and family issues - so that   
     a person's opinion on one matter now largely signals their   
     beliefs on all the rest.
