When a person determined their identity from their political ideology, then any political disagreement becomes an attack on the person. This is why the population is currently artificially polarized and why compromise is impossible, to do so is the same as agreeing entirely with everything the person believes. The world has experienced many episodes in history where such polarization has occurred, it never ended well, which is why I'm hoping to see a return to rational realism and a shift away from ideological idealism based on arguments propped up by emotional premises that are supported by demonizing objective facts. I still have faith, mostly because I have children who are being taught valid logic and critical thinking are paramount and supreme to all arguments that fight to remove such nuances to so many arguments being thrust upon them outside of our four walls.

yup, that's about the level of thought you're capable of
