quote:

The reason politics are so polarized is because everyone lumps together into groups instead of thinking as independent people.


People have values that form their politics.

Abortion... Polarizing because it's a moral issue. I don't need a politician to tell me where to stand on that. It's polarizing to me because of my belief system, a system that doesn't require your approval or validation to believe and stand where I stand.

Limited government... An principle formed by our founding fathers who intended to limit the power and scope of government in the lives of Americans so we wouldn't return to our authoritarian vomit we rebelled against. I buy into it, because I'm an American. It's polarizing when government oversteps their bounds in my life to dictate my 1st or 2nd amendment rights, and in bankrupting this country with 16 TRILLION dollars in debt...

It's not the parties. It's the agenda that is destroying this country that are polarizing.
