Everyone has picked their side and won't hear a damned thing wrong about them since that would make them also wrong and every American is 100% right about things they feel, cause that is what our media makes us feel. And also is inherently needed for a class of wealthy elites to pretend they know or care at all for any other group of people when taking power over them.
It's somewhat wrong to say "more" people want one side or the other since we still actually make it quite hard to vote and the rules on victory is convoluted in allowing unpopular (not majority of votes) victory in a political race.
Granted again there is lots of nuance in all of this and Republicans more sell a vibe than thought out ideas, that is usually based on a feeling of superiority that is not earned.
It's the end of an empire. We haven't been tending to the stalk and the central pillar of what makes us strong so it's coming down and things are just gonna be bad as people on all sides argue they know how to fly.
