I don't think the current state of American politics is a result of structural problems-- it's gotten a lot worse as far as I can tell in the past decade or so. I don't know who started it, or who's done the most to amplify matters, but I think Republicans and Democrats have become a lot more contemptuous of each other.
I think existing structural problems were dramatically magnified by the modern media environment. The growth of politically involved evangelicalism is also relevant.
