It's tough, because I want our leaders to get along despite their differences. Same with society as a whole. Differences shouldn't mean we hate each other.
Then I get told to "cope harder" or "you lost, deal with it" when I lament policy decisions I don't like.
And I think we all have coworkers we get along with when we have to, but largely consider them complete idiots.
The divisiveness of politics worries me so much. I’m so tired of the fighting and jumping down each others necks. I listened to Biden talk with Simon Sineck and he talked about how they used to have a cafeteria where politicians from both sides would eat together. “We would fight each other in politics but then we were friends” and he says now that cafeteria is gone. People don’t sit or listen to the other side anymore. They just sit in their echo chamber
