RE: What Happened to Compromise?

It's good to know that the tribalism isn't as prevalent elsewhere. I would have assumed it had spread to all western countries. I don't see any way around at least some degree of secession here in the US—the differences between the perceived ideologies of the left and right are just too vast. A whole lot of people don't even take the time to learn the facts—they read headlines, snippets of stories, memes. Then they're influenced by the ways social/mainstream media spin the stories to inflame their emotions. More like sheep who rely on others to tell them how the should feel about this or that.
