Not really though. People have pretty strong opinions in the Midwest and South, but for as much **** as they get for being backward, you get the same rural urban split that you do everywhere else. But you don't see crazy stuff like this hardly ever. I took a trip to the west coast a couple years back, and it was shocking how much stronger the base level of confrontational anger there was between political groups. I mean, you are right that the division and anger is present everywhere, but the west coast seems to really be at the vanguard of it all.
My uncle just moved from Oakland to Dallas, and he's really excited how liberals in Dallas actually get along and support each-other. In California, the culture was really toxic, and the liberals were dividing into little gate-keeping subgroups and throwing hate and vitriol at each other.
