It's been happening for at least ten years. "On both sides."

Intolerance is the message. They say, "Don't talk with people who have different ideas, all opposing beliefs are evil and the others must be rejected, even family."

Discussion and conciliation are never even discussed as options.

The way you can tell it's a troll of an adversary, such as Russia or Iran, is that solutions are never offered or asked for.

Unfortunately many well meaning people just repeat these methods with thinking.

What to do. Be vigilant in asking questions and asking for solutions. Be careful of when others use emotionally charged political words. Be morally and legally consistent. A crime is a crime no matter who does it. A good action is good no matter who does it.
