This exactly.  US politics, for at least 15+ years now, has been more about
gaining power and making "the other side" suffer or, at least, very
unhappy, than it is about actually doing what is right for the country as a
whole.

Politicians who are sensible get weeded out early in favor of the more
polarizing ones.

If I were looking for a conspiracy, I would be looking at who benefits from
this.  China, Russia, the online press, and social media are all good
starts but I suspect there are others who benefit that are not so evident.
