Partisanship
Partisanship, or the strong identification with a political party, has been on the rise in the United States for several decades. This trend has been fueled by a number of factors, including the increasing salience of partisanship in American culture, the decline of moderate ideology, and the rise of social media.
Partisanship has a number of negative consequences for American politics. It leads to increased polarization, as partisans become more entrenched in their own views and less willing to compromise with the other side. It also makes it more difficult for the government to function effectively, as partisan gridlock can prevent the passage of legislation.
Gridlock
Gridlock, or the inability of the government to pass legislation, has become increasingly common in recent years. This is due in large part to the rise of partisanship, as well as the increasing complexity of issues facing the government.
Gridlock has a number of negative consequences for the country. It can lead to the accumulation of problems that are not addressed, the erosion of public trust in government, and the inability to respond to crises.
Polarization
Polarization, or the division of society into two opposing camps, has also been on the rise in the United States. This trend has been fueled by a number of factors, including the rise of partisanship, the decline of moderate ideology, and the increasing geographic sorting of Americans.
Polarization has a number of negative consequences for American politics. It makes it more difficult for the government to function effectively, as polarized partisans are less willing to compromise with each other. It also makes it more difficult for Americans to have civil conversations about politics.

* The increasing salience of partisanship in American culture * The decline of moderate ideology * The rise of social media * The increasing geographic sorting of Americans * The influence of money in politics * The decline of civility in political discourse
Consequences of These Trends
The rise of partisanship, gridlock, and polarization has had a number of negative consequences for American politics. These include:

American politics in the 21st century has been characterized by a number of negative trends, including the rise of partisanship, gridlock, and polarization.
