The funny thing about the America-divided narrative is that the majority of liberal-leaning American opiners fall back on that same explanation (and then sprinkle on some paranoia about the vast reach of Russian disinformation for good measure). Maybe a rat’s nest of different interests but still suprisingly united ideologically.
- swframe2 5y agoYou posit that "the majority of liberals-leaning American"s hold the same beliefs in the "America-divided narrative" and yet conclude that everyone is "surprisingly united ideologically". That seems like a contradiction but it's possible we just disagree on what is ideologically important. For example, I think it is important that 74m Trump supporters think Trump is honest and an equal number of Trump haters think he is dishonest. How do you think liberals-leaning and conservative-leaning Americans are united ideologically?
