Yeah campaign commentary is always going to be odd, that's just that game (which is some % just vibes some % facts) - but one hopes in actual issues and debates of our time we could approach things less with the beliefs of large dogmatic tribes and more what is simply the best course of action (might not be politically correct for one group). Both parties are guilty on various things. If everyone was a few % more reasonable I think we'd get there (and also don't let extremists permeate a party)
That would require not having entirely separate information communities. The facts you see on Twitter are vastly different than what you see on Facebook, and Fox News is vastly different than NPR.
The legacy of the Trump movement is that the campaign never ends, so there is no reprieve. Everything is a campaign all the time, and facts are chosen or created to fit the policy goal.
There is no clear path back from that. Climate change, for example, is already affecting people's lives so they can see it with their own eyes. Yet still they don't believe.
