Just because some posters have differing opinions and openly state so, doesn't mean the forum isn't supporting one another. That is a gross overstatement. There is a tremendous amount of support posters are providing to other posters. I see it all the time.
Besides, politics/racism/mysogynism/etc... will happen on every social media outlet. BMR is no different (as can be seen in many posts/threads). Discussions/arguments from both sides of an issue are going to happen. It has to be expected.
As far as being different than in prior years, I don't believe that is the case. It was happening since day 1. You might notice it more now because BMR has more posters but it was always around.
