[ad_1] Pebbles Flintstone and Bamm-Bamm Rubble, from Bamm-Bamm’s debut in The Flintstones season-four episode “Little Bamm-Bamm.” Screen capture from episode four.

[ad_1] It is now an accepted narrative within the media that the US has become increasingly polarized. We just had our 250th celebration, and it seems to have further polarized our nation rather than bring it together. It is important, however, to put this polarization into perspective. We discuss this topic on my (relatively) new podcast, Political Reality, which I host with political scientist, Andres Jones Rooy.
