If you are able to eliminate that dividing factor, and let people realize that they actually have a lot of common interests, you'd be surprised how many things could be accomplished.
Totally. I've been finding recently that the second I say 'actually, Trump made a good move here' I get denounced bizarrely as racist or right-wing lol. What... Being in China it's almost always good to see trump take action on the country, I'm bound to agree. China is bilateral and unanimously agreed upon practically daily, but society still manages to divide it in their dichotomy.
I don't buy into the idea of 'divide and conquer' in this left-right way, I think nit became self-perpetuating with no single mind, but I can absolutely see where that thought comes from, and I suppose the end result is the same regardless
