The fault of the rise of authoritarianism and Trump is shared by the left and right. No one is trying to find solidarity outside of their tribe. It’s all about zero sum. More for me and less for you. Dog eat dog as t hey say.
Whatever the government or a major party’s job is the bottom line should be in uniting not dividing. We cannot hope to make the world a better place unless we have buy in from most of the people. That means expanding our vision to include views we may find uncomfortable and even objectionable. At that intersection of world views we can begin to make progress and find solutions. Until then we are merely warring factions open to manipulation by bad actors.
