1. No, the vast gulf between what are the two sides of America's political divide are due to the very strategies that the Left/Democrats/Liberals have used to gain power: the grievance industry.
Every day, in every way possible,it's divide, cause enmity, and what is known as Identity Politics.
And, to show that it didn't begin with Trump, note that today is the sad anniversary of the death of Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner.
2. "On This Day: PPD Officer Daniel Faulkner Killed in Line of Duty [1981]
....Faulkner was gunned down during a traffic stop in Center City Philadelphia.
Officer Faulkner, 25, was on patrol early that morning, and had stopped a vehicle driving the wrong way down a one way street at 13th and Locust Streets around 4:00 a.m.
During the stop, Officer Faulkner called for back-up and a police wagon to transport the driver.
While Faulkner's back was turned, the driver's brother, Mumia Abu-Jamal, ran toward the confrontation from a nearby parking lot.
Abu-Jamal, then opened fire on Officer Faulkner, who was able to return fire.
Officer Faulkner was struck several times, and was killed. Abu-Jamal was wounded by Faulkner's gun fire.
Trial testimony later revealed that a .38-caliber revolver registered to Abu-Jamal was found at the scene with five spent shell casings.
Abu-Jamal, a member of the Black Panther Party, was sentenced to life in prison following the high profile case, but later his sentence was later reduced to life in prison without parole." http://www.fox29.com/news/local-news/on-this-day-ppd-officer-daniel-faulkner-killed-in-line-of-duty

3. "The California Federation of Teachers (CFT) passed a resolution at its most recent convention claiming that “the continued unjust incarceration of Mumia Abu-Jamal represents a threat to the civil rights of all people.” Thirty years ago, Abu-Jamal took away Philadelphia policeman Daniel Faulkner’s foremost civil right: his life. How obtuse of the CFT to disregard “the threat to the civil rights of all people” represented by someone capable of gunning down a man tasked with protecting the public.
The pantheon of leftist saints includes the Haymarket Square bombers, responsible for the deaths of eight Chicago cops, Joe Hill, murderer of former police officer John Morrison in Salt Lake City, Huey Newton, murderer of Oakland policeman John Frey, and Leonard Peltier, murderer of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Notice a pattern?"
