"This is the real problem with polarization, right? It causes all kinds of down stream issues - maybe including, eventually, a civil war. I hope not, but, people don't know people who they disagree with politically anymore. And they did, they used to, quite recently. I think, you know, in some ways that's a potential solution to some of the angst around politics - if everyone could just go make one friend who voted differently than they did."
