The TEXTBOOK playbook for bringing people together to find peace, is to start by finding some common ground. On LITERALLY anything. Then you build on that. “Maybe, given enough time, we can grow to understand to have enough the same that we can work together”
Culture war is the simple inversion: find something, ANYTHING that you can disagree about. Then you build on that. “Maybe, given enough time, we can grow to understand others to be different enough that working together is impossible”
I don’t even think this is even that complicated.

That’s a nice thought, but what comes across is “Your current problems aren’t important, now support my fringe political view”
What would be a better way to frame it?
I think I meant to reply to the OP, sorry. Your comment is great, and I like it much more.
