It's already here but it's likely going to get worse the closer we get to the next presidential election. Still, normal conversation between members of opposing sides is all but impossible these days. Which is why the guest list for our holiday Open House includes only people who agree with us politically. It's not just to ensure there will be no hateful sparring, but also because we don't really enjoy those "other people" anymore.
There are some exceptions of course. A few of my good friends are aligned with the other side, but we are all mature enough to disregard politics and focus on our commonalities. Fortunately they live far away so are not on the guest list. (Phew!)
