More to the point, in the last 5-10 years it seems like we as a society are placing far more significance to one's political affiliation as a measure of social norms.
When I was younger and especially as a child growing up in a very politically active household, I never experienced the vitriol of the likes that we see today. I wonder if it's not due to the various news organizations and talking heads that get the masses all whipped into a frenzy. Especially those who cater to people who might be less educated and more susceptible to parroting ideas that are not of their own thought process. It's one thing to have opposing views, but to disrespect another just because they think differently from you is something that I have a hard time understanding.
