Both sides relish in demonizing each-other, reducing the other side to simple statements like deplorable or corrupt beyond measure.
I shutter to think of a time when presidential candidates refuse to even acknowledge that the other is a human, or correct obscene errors in judgement[1] borne from descending into the echo chamber and never coming out.
That said, tribalism is as old as time immemorial. An echo chamber is not inherently harmful but the content going into it can be -- more to the point, it behooves our leaders of communities (and the world at large) to acknowledge each-other in a manner that shows the best of us maintain a base minimum of dignity and restraint.
