My issue (and I think the Thread's issue) is the toxicity of political discourse. America has already split into mutually uncomprehending tribes who believe everybogy who isn't their political clone is a fool or a scoundrel. And they would rather eat their own toenails than negotiate with the evil Other they've made in their heads.
The tribes are basically refusing to do 'politics' at all. Because politics IS the hard dance of negotiating a way for difference to live together. The tribalists prefer war, with clear heroes & villains. In this atmosphere, the favoured phrase is 'I hate'.

One of the biggest disasters of Brexit - aside from turning away from solidarity with our neighbours - is that it has imported the toxic tribalism of US discourse into our politics. We don't need a tea party here.
