Generally both extremes of the political spectrum are immune to reason, and these two extremes seem to now have taken over in the US. What remains is a shouting match.
What a friend of mine described from his recent visit to the country really concerns me. Hotels either showing "conservative" or "liberal" media only. People and cars with stickers and pins everywhere. Exactly like two football fan clubs - unconditional support of the own and hatred of the other.
Americans, you need to fix this as quickly as possible. Truly liberal minded should stand guard when conservatives are speaking and vice versa. Go into the details of each argument and find common ground, points of content as well as a synthesis. And stop listening to organisations like the "Southern poverty law center" who go as far as labeling Maajid Nawaz and Ajaan Hirsi Ali "Anti-Muslim extremists". In fact, stop with the labels altogether - if full blown KKK members and even grand dragons can be befriended and turned by a black musician [1], I think it's time for those shouters to stop and think about what they have done personally to mend society.
