Scarborough Wonders Why Conservatives Are so Nasty

Conservative Joe Scarborough, promoting his new book on conservatism, says he doesn't understand why conservatives are calling democrats racists and communists and generally talking like fools.
Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin offers that the two groups don't socially mix anymore.
I say conservatives have split and the majority group has grown more hateful and extreme (and loud) because they feel threatened by our changing (for the better) nation. But they perceive that the nation is getting worse.
There are those who are slower to progress. Some people resist any kind of change. Another thing, older people (many with an old fashioned, closed mindset, still thinking about the good old days) are living longer. Future generations of older people will have a more progressive mindset because they will be today's youth, who are much more broad minded and, dare I say, enlightened.
