I'd say "bubbles", the media, and white men are the main issues.
The rise of Identity politics fueled divides not just on the left and right, but between other social groups, i.e. whites/minorities, men/women, straight/LGBT, Christians/non-Christians, old/young, and so on, with Republicans being seen as representing the first half of each pair's interests, and the Democrats the second half. The two parties have clear demographic coalitions:
Democrats: -Blacks -Latinos/Mexicans -Asians -Native Americans -Reform/Conservative Jews -Muslims -Other Religions -LGBT -Feminists -Environmentalists -SJWs -Abortionists -Millennials -Academia -College-educated voters -Upper-class people -A-List Celebrities -Anti-Trump ex-GOPers
Republicans: -Whites -Evangelical Christians -Mormons -Orthodox Jews -Pro-Israel people -Anti-Islamists -Anti-Immigration people -Police -Military guys -MRAs -Anti-PC people -Blue-collar people -Gun people -Confederates -Baby Boomers -Pro-Lifers -Non-college people -Minor Celebrities
