Like two ideological rockets fired off next to each other, Americans will never unite. All of us must be descendants of two separate tribes. In one American universe people just want to lead their lives quietly and let others do the same. In the other American universe the people want to tell others how to live. On one side the people believe taxes are necessary for the common good of all. The other side believes taxes are evil. One side thinks personal weapons should have some limitations and the other sides thinks any limits are an infringement. One side believes government plays a major role in our lives and the other side wants to dismantle the government. In one universe people think every one should be allowed to worship or not worship as you see fit. The other universe believes their religion is the only true religion and those who don't believe the way they do are headed to hell. America has endured one civil war only to be left with festering incivility.
