I'm going to approach this from a third entirely different angle, maybe wrong.
My birth country has a 1A and a 2A (but no ERA); my adoptive country neither of those (but does guarantee equality*). By looking where my feet are you can tell which country I believe does a better job of providing liberty and justice for all.

As to division and partisanship, a joke:
Our (former) far-right party leader went to some international convention, and at lunch Le Pen and Wilders beckoned him over and said "come have lunch with us!", but he just waggled his finger at them, pointed towards two shaggy-haired politicians at a nearby table in polarfleece and sensible shoes, and said "sorry, I'm a right wing nationalist, so I'm going to go over there and eat lunch with my colleagues: the socialist and the green from my country."
