    Agree 100%! People have been indoctrinated to see things in absolutes, and in fully opposing forms. This is why so many think that if someone is <insert label> then they definitely think all the things on a list alike. Few people can comprehend that people’s actual views are almost never partisan and binary. But they feel necessary to fit in with their tribe; to conform, so they seldom speak out about a single specific issue with which they disagree. And always purely out of fear of social friction. People need to learn to feel safe not being exactly alike! The USA was founded on the idea that we can be different and still work together for the common good. Hence, United.
    But nowadays it’s the Divided Corporation of America.
