The anonymity of the internet also exasperates online arguments where people are immune to the real-life ramifications of spewing vitriol at one another. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsurprisingly, this has led to a rise in political extremism. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This generation often overlooks the danger of political polarization since they lack memories of a time before modern technology and the division it has brought. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the inability to respect opposing opinions even causes in-group fighting. This is seen in the stratification of the Democratic Party, which is often unable to make compromises between moderate liberals and extreme leftists. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, the support or disapproval toward former president Donald Trump, especially after last year\u2019s capital riots, has divided the Republican Party. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The consequences of this crippling division are seen in our democracy through a faulty legislative branch, a distracted executive branch and a manipulated judicial branch. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would be ignorant to suggest social media can be removed from modern life.
