People often segregate themselves into bubbles separated from others they oppose. I can say since the political affiliation is known from past elections, that has become a stronger factor when I am deliberating on which places I would want to live. I’m sure this is adding to the polarization, where people are gravitating to communities that more often reinforce their beliefs and give them fewer opportunities to challenge them.
I’m not sure but I’d like to have some ideas. This is one of those questions that is reason for academia. It deserves study and research. Now funding that research may be impossible because it doesn’t serve the oligarchy but you know, that’s why we fight.

How can we counter this polarizing force?
