IMO, it's because of fake division sowed by the MSM. How different can we REALLY be? Item by item, the reality is going to be we are very close in desires - we then need to debate how we get them. The items themselves are not so much in question - it's the how. Why so much acrimony over a how? Division.

While I don't for a second doubt the media's role in this, FOX news most certainly plays its part. Hannity hits the air every night and goes off about how the Mueller investigation is all a witch hunt and should be shut down and he attacks Hillary and Obama and the Left etc and on and on. Not to mention it has been reported that he speaks to Trump almost every night after he tapes his show. He and the others at FOX are doing their part to sow the seeds of discord.
That said, I agree with you that we are aren't really that different. In the end most human beings want the same things. We want to live safe, secure, prosperous, happy lives. How we get those things and what they look like is the issue. Making people fight over the minutia of those things is what helps keep our leadership in power.
