I figured, since the fallout of the 2020 election is going on, and I presently have the story going where Clarence Coyote is still in the year 1960, I decided to put this one out there.
How was polarization back then? Right now, everyone hates each other. I recall more peaceful elections in recent times, but, since 2018, it's becoming less civilized.

Nothing that even resembles what it is today. You might hear a few folks debating in a doughnut shop or in a dinner which candidate is the one to vote for, but that's about the extent of it.
The first hint of election polarization I've heard of was what some friends of mine in the neighborhood did just before the election of 1968. They saw a man in an old Cadillac with a George Wallace for president bumper sticker on it. One of my friends told the man, "It's a shame we gonna have to tear that car apart to get that Wallace sticker off". Those homies of mine took off running when the man pulled a gun and said, "It's a shame the cops will have to pick up 3 dead 'N's off the street".

Other than that, not a whole lot of that kind of stuff came about from elections themselves. And there was the KKK...But at least the mainstream of society did view them as the rogues that they are.
Up until past the early 1960s, social strife was not too common place for any reason, except for occasional actists you'd hear about taking a stand for civil rights.

There should be more elections like that one: fairer and more honest, with voters pulling little switches - or in my case punching holes in cards - in the voting booths. Practically no one can tamper with them, unlike what today's political workers are doing with mail-in and electronic ballots.

If The Buffycats would like around 1984, Re-Election year where People cast their ballots in a box and President Ronald Reagan is re-elected. It is interesting to see how the way people vote tend to change. The Otter Fellow manages to prevent World War 3 from happening and it makes me feel happy when President Reagan would want to tear down that wall.
