Tom Reese can speculate all he wants, but conservative vs liberal, right vs left, educated vs uneducated...none of that is the problem.  The problems, while many, can in fact be reduced to a few.  First, prejudice and hatred are still in full force.  Whether it is against blacks, Mexican's, Muslim's, women, LGBT or whomever...our country has continued to demonstrate hatred.  I'm white, and I have to tell you I'm sick of my peers, educated or not, really, really being prejudiced.  From off-color comments to blatant derogatory comments.  For my peers that are people of color, it's not much different, but many of these acquaintances feel they have a right to feel that way.  Secondly, we react to tweets and headlines and do little in-depth research on any topic.  Spend some time reviewing the issues before you open your mouth and spit out half truths and venom.  Finally, call and write your congressmen or representative daily and get your peers to do the same.  And don't forget to pray.
