The Political Blame Game in American Democracy looks at the forces
that have developed over the past fifty-plus years and created a
dysfunctional political system in the United States. It argues that
the current level of partisan polarization is actually the
culmination of a number of forces at work during the past few
decades. These include a perception by each party that the other is
using unfair political tactics; the subsequent creation of a
culture of blame, with each party blaming the other for the
dysfunction; a decline in political norms, leading to childlike
behavior by politicians and political candidates; and a culture of
payback in which the opposition argues that their opponents are
responsible for the decline. These four factors culminated in the
2016 presidential campaign, where they were exemplified by Donald
Trump, and have continued to have a significant ongoing impact on
the political landscape of the United States.
