Oh he is full of hyperbole. But he is not wrong on his main thesis that America is two nations stuck together. A good analogy is a marriage. The ideal situation is when both sides love and respect each other and resolve their issues in friendly and respectful manner. This is clearly not the case in the US and has not been for the past 30 years. The next best thing is when the couple agree to disagree and find a mutually acceptable framework to resolve their issues (you take the kids to school in the mornings, I will bring them back. You do the shopping and I will do the cooking - etc). That has not been possible for the past 20 years. And now you are getting into the 3rd and 4th options where the couple hold each other in contempt and are actively trying to undermine each other.

Needless to say that will do more damage to them than any external party ever could. Packer is just stating that reality - albeit from his own perch and perspective.

BTW, until Trump, he was a lifelong hardcore Republican. Ditto for David Frum. So it should tell you something when people like that write such articles.
