A big difference between the past and now is that in the past, politics was a very minor part in American life.
Outside of wartime, the federal government was something you mainly interacted with when going to the post office. If the national politicians hated each other, it made for good gossip, but didn't affect daily life much
Today, it is involved with and regulating most aspects of our lives, and federal government dysfunction is a much bigger problem.
