This started with LBJ and the civil rights movement and "Great Society" legislation. Not with Reagan, though he certainly contributed heavily to the unequal distribution of wealth that divides us.
But it seems that ever since the Democrats adopted social justice as its main platform, a political rift has formed and widened. With minorities slowly becoming majorities, that has pain off for them in recent elections.
More and more people are becoming aware that they cannot think only of their own welfare, but of others as well. If my neighbor does well, I'm more likely to do well, also. The old, white, socially conservative people's way of life is literally dying out, and they are being replaced with younger, less likely to be white or Christian people. So of course tho6ne who are dying out are fighting tooth and nail. They feel threatened because in a very real sense they are. They aren't bad people in general, and they may even have a little rally here, as dying people often do shortly before the end. But really, they cannot win in the long run, not without extreme measures such as ethnic cleansing or Christian Dominion ism getting a full grip. Time will wear them away, it's inevitable.
