The values camps and culture wars are a big defining trait of the baby boomer generation. Ever since they began to exert more and more influence in public and political life from the 90's til now they gave birth to the powerful red state blue state divide. Wealthy college educated white states like Massachusetts are staunchly Democratic while poorer less college educated states in Dixie are staunchly Republican because of social issues and values; not because of economic reasons.
Millennials aren't as individualistic, confrontational, or divided as baby boomers are. Most millennials have a general consensus on most social issues and aren't as deeply religious and spiritual as their baby boomer parents. They're a much more team oriented group with a stronger inclination on improving the outer world rather than focused on the inner world. Depolarization will be the norm going from roughly 2030 onwards as millennials began to exert more and more influence in public and political life.
