At the risk of flogging an already well-flogged dead horse, MAGAts don’t care what he says as long as it upsets people they don’t like.
And when those ideologies come back to bite them, they’ll blame those same disliked people for either causing it or not stopping it, because neither they nor their preferred politician(s) could possibly be to blame for it.
Our biggest mistake will be never addressing these people’s bullshit. I mean it’s not like they can be punished but allowing it to go on with no remedy leaves us all exposed.
People often segregate themselves into bubbles separated from others they oppose. I can say since the political affiliation is known from past elections, that has become a stronger factor when I am deliberating on which places I would want to live. I’m sure this is adding to the polarization, where people are gravitating to communities that more often reinforce their beliefs and give them fewer opportunities to challenge them.
I’m not sure but I’d like to have some ideas. This is one of those questions that is reason for academia. It deserves study and research. Now funding that research may be impossible because it doesn’t serve the oligarchy but you know, that’s why we fight.

How can we counter this polarizing force?
