This is speculative, but I wonder if someone is stoking the embers of hatred in the United States.
More bluntly, are we dupes of the Russians to hate each other so much?
I read how a 1994 survey by the Pew Research Center showed 16 percent of Democrats had a very unfavorable opinion of Republicans, compared to 38 percent more recently. And, only 17 percent of Republicans had a very unfavorable view of Democrats, compared to 43 percent more recently.
Toward the end of his Sunday column, Deseret News columnist Boyd Matheson suggests if there is one area Russia meddling is succeeding in, it is in sowing discord. I'm not sure how you interpret that, other than to say Russia is dividing us.
