The Pew Research Center cites a whopping 21-percentage-point disagreement in 2011 between the two parties on basic policy questions\u2014up from just six points in the mid-1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Politically divisive events like the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the 2008 financial crisis, the election of the nation\u2019s first black president, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-the-tea-party\/\">rise of the Tea Party<\/a> and Black Lives Matter movements, and the 2016 election of Donald Trump have only amplified the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Negative Polarization<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The stark ideological differences between the two-party coalitions have dramatically raised the stakes of political competition. <\/strong>Each election cycle becomes a life-or-death struggle between starkly opposed candidates and parties. This has fuelled the growth of what political scientists label \u201cnegative polarization\u201d\u2014political mobilization centered not on positive support for one\u2019s preferred party, but hatred and fear of the <em>other <\/em>party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can even see this in the geographic and social landscape of the United States. Americans increasingly live in politically homogenous communities and have fewer and fewer cross-partisan personal relationships. Democrats and Republicans live in worlds that are becoming more and more separate. Thanks to social <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/internet-platform\/\">media platforms<\/a> like Facebook and Twitter, Americans can easily narrow their news consumption to include only slanted and partisan information that confirms their pre-existing beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Want to learn more about the deeper trends driving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/polarized-government\/\">political party polarization<\/a> in America? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/how-democracies-die\/1-page-summary\">Read our summary of <em>How Democracies Die<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anti-University Politics From the Right<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Given this rising climate of political mistrust, hostility, and polarization, it\u2019s no wonder college campuses (which have always been strongholds of the left) have become even more strident in their politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this has invited a fierce reaction from the right end of the political spectrum, with<strong> right-wing media like Fox News often cynically amplifying and highlighting high-profile incidents of left-wing campus activism<\/strong>. The vicious cycle of action, reaction, and counter-reaction further divides the nation and makes it impossible to engage in any meaningful dialogue across the partisan divide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the actions taken by many on the far right against campus leftists often constitute grave threats to campus safety. Several of the students who participated in the protest at Evergreen State College reported receiving rape and death threats from the right via email and social media. In 2017, a Princeton professor called President Trump a bigot during her commencement remarks at Hampshire College. She was besieged with specific and credible death threats after Fox News publicized her speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>White Sculptures and White Supremacy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The right targets even those academics who do <\/strong><strong><em>not <\/em><\/strong><strong>make provocative political statements. <\/strong>In 2017, a University of Iowa professor named Sarah Bond published an article in an academic journal in which she discussed Greco-Roman white marble statues. These statues were originally painted in vivid color, but the paint deteriorated over the millennia, leaving us only with the white marble we see today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bond argued that the whiteness of these statues contributes to modern-day white supremacist ideas that equate \u201cwhiteness\u201d with aesthetic beauty and with humanity\u2019s highest cultural achievements\u2014in no small part because they contribute to the anachronistic belief that ancient Greeks and Romans were \u201cwhite\u201d (a racial concept that simply did not exist in the classical world).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right-wing media wilfully misrepresented the content of the paper, claiming that Bond believed that the use of white marble in and of itself was racist and that anyone who enjoyed classical art was therefore a white supremacist. Online right-wing mobs harassed Bond, issued the now all-too-familiar threats of violence, and called for her firing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Growing Culture of Hate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>University administrations have failed to defend professors from violent online threats made by off-campus right-wing provocateurs\u2014just as they previously failed to stand up for faculty threatened by left-wing militancy on campus.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This further contributes to the chilling effect on free expression, as professors are left with no choice but to self-censor, lest they face withering abuse from either the left or the right. The zone of acceptable discourse continues to narrow from both ends of the political spectrum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the negative effects of party polarization on college campuses?
