Frontline on PBS is airing a two-part documentary TONIGHT: "The Divided States of America"
Days before the inauguration of the 45th American president, look back at events during the Obama presidency that have revealed deep divisions in our country and examine the America the next president will inherit. Part 1 of 2, continued on Wednesday, January 18th.
There's been some good "buzz" about this documentary, which goes to the heart of the endemic polarization of our body politic. I wonder sometimes if the threshold of this polarization (far from its peak, in my opinion) has reached a level that poses systemic risk to our republic.
