"If you can connect with and feel what someone from another tribe is expressing, maybe you’ll learn from him, even adopt some of his positions" there are few these days who actually try to pursue other factions to find that common ground. The past has shown us that people who are willing and able to bridge this divide (MLK, Malcolm X, etc.) are the primary threat to those in power. It is disturbing to see the left and right use either BLM or the "coup attempt" to push totalitarian policies whether it be expanded surveillance or an expanded police state. Extremely short sighted.
if regular people of different backgrounds and political stripes made common cause, they would push back against the graft of the ruling class, so naturally they want to keep people divided along every possible line.
