That's quite a rationalization. It ignores how repressive and intolerant mainstream America was in the 1950s and before.

Seventy percent out of wedlock birth, HIV epidemic, massive incarceration level, but at least they are assured of the right to eat at Denny's.

Polarization is just hype. The vast majority of people don't care or don't think there's real change regardless of who gets elected. A very small number of voters figure in election outcomes that the two parties have to excite or outrage the voters in order to increase the turnout.

This kind of elite vs. poor polarization has been around since before the Roman empire. Clinton didn't invent it.

You said the boomers have made society far more polarized than they were during their parent's generation. It doesn't look to me like you know how polarized things were before the Civil Rights movement and all the rest that went on in the 60s.
