It's interesting, if one sits down and listens to the other side they are saying the same. It's very ingenious actually. I believe the goal is to work two groups into an incurable division aka you want both sides to know they are the good guys and know the other side are essentially the spawn of Satan. The absolute worst case scenario would be these two sides putting down their differences and working together. That's why it's at a state of religious infallibility, you can't have anyone on either side questioning it less they be labeled something even worse than the enemy, some lukewarm traitor to both sides.
you know if you listen to flat earthers they say they are the ones with proof and the round earth is fake and dumb
perhaps it is your job to determine truth accurately using evidence and not just go "a disagreement, how fascinating"
For sure. Both sides have some self discovery to do unless one truly believes 100% of policies and actions taken by their chosen political party are unquestionably correct. There's a lot of common ground to be found between people if they were to relax and not go full bore tribalism with politics. Unfortunately people really like tribalism and owning or dunking on whoever their opposition is. That is people usually prefer being right to such a degree they are willing to disregard the wellbeing of everyone for it. Obviously you see this behavior in your opposition, but maybe it's a little harder to see in the tribes you identify with.
