I agree there's political polarization, and I wish I knew how to fix it.
The problem is, part of it comes from people making blanket (and frankly ridiculous) statements like "folks on the left may hate that he actually still attends church". That only exacerbates the problem. I have *NEVER* heard a single person say they wouldn't vote for someone because they attend church, yet now that's been stated as a commonplace thing. It's creating a division where there wasn't one before. I do think there are people voting for Roy Moore who are horrified about who he is but are swallowing that because they think it's worse to vote for a democrat. I don't think all conservatives feel that way. I think most probably don't feel that way. But we've got statements like that floating around that make it really hard to have an honest debate, and I'm really tired of that.
