The second debate proved that we all now live on different partisan planets

So, did you hear? Donald Trump won the second debate. It was YUGE. Rush Limbaugh told me so.

Unless he lost. Badly.

Or maybe it was basically a tie.

I have written a lot about what I perceive to be the most insidious effect (of many) that the modern fragmented media has had on our culture and politics. I even predicted/diagnosed that this phenomenon would lead to Donald Trump’s nomination and Hillary Clinton’s election.

However, I have never witnessed a political event where America was more divided about what they thought they saw than last night’s second presidential debate. This was the equivalent to the racially divergent reaction to the O.J. Simpson trial (this entire election cycle feels more and more like that entire nightmare all the time).
