It seems to me that both parties are finding fewer things to agree upon, while thinking negatively of the opposition and positively of their own. It’s become more of a “my team” thing, and the policies are good if we do it and bad if the others do. Of course one party is far more authoritarian than others and the choice is clear to some, but given political engagement in this country I see more disagreement than agreement when it comes to deciding on policies for the common good.
