I think what is happening is politics has become more ideological, and sides are drawn with a strong set of basic policies that a person can identify with. The world and society hav\s become more complex, and I think more people understand less about the real circumstances and problems that need to be dealt with. The connection between the Christian evangelicals and the GOP in the 80-90's really drove this phenomenon.

Liberal minds will be liberal.I attended a UU congregation in my area for several months a while back as well. I was struck first of all by how many of the members were white Boomers (not unlike a mainline Christian church), and also I remember thinking that I had never seen so many Bernie stickers in one parking lot!
