The fundamental difference between the '60s and today's political divisions is that we now have had a Trump presidency, systematically seeking not simply to do what he, like LBJ, thought was right for the country, but rather to do what he thought would be personally, politically and financially beneficial to himself.
One can argue whether LBJ sought to exploit the nation's divisions, but it's pretty obvious that Trump most certainly did, and continues to do so to this day.
