No, the division in the U.S. today is just dumb culture war bullshit which will probably pass in a few years— as I like to say, conservatives are just liberals without the latest update. While the pawns are divided and slinging shit at one another like morons, the kings, bishops, and knights are probably dining at the same table having a hoot and a holler.
It’s nowhere near the gravity of the North-South division in the prelude to the Civil War, which was between two different modes of production (slave-based agrarian proto-capitalism and wage-labor-based industrial capitalism) and two opposing sections of the bourgeoisie (Southern planters and landlords and Northern industrialists).
On the contrary, I would argue that the capitalist powers that be have never been so united.

Couldn’t agree more
In the US, this is true. Globally, it’s a different story, I think
