We are a fractured nation, but there is still hope

“The Founders worried about ‘factionalism’ becoming tyranny, but thought the nation so large and scattered that it would be impossible for the ‘like-minded’ to come together for evil ends. But modern social and mass media have helped turn citizens into mobs determined to destroy their political enemies. Do we have anything in common anymore?” - Acton

Acton states,

“even higher percentages of respondents viewed members of the other party as presenting a “clear and present danger” that will likely result in “personal loss or suffering.”

I would like to see the number of members who view their own party as presenting a “clear and present danger”.
