Unanimous so far... Thinking about politics as a (very complicated) incentive system, someone must be gaining from a perception of partisanship. I think that it is a result of each party's attempt to drive the other side away from the valuable center.
I'm not old enough to know if the current climate of irrationality is unusual, but I'm struck by the number of things said in the media (by politicians) that are patently untrue. It seems that politicians don't feel particularly constrained by reality or objective assessments.
