Description:

“It’s ironic. One of the few things most of us can agree on right now is that we are highly polarized.

As the U.S. presidential election reaches its conclusion, tensions are running high between political opponents. Democrats view Donald Trump as an unstable threat to the country. Many Republicans are convinced that a Biden administration would be just as bad…or worse. But the election is just the tip of the iceberg.

It feels as though there is a rift that divides the American people on a racial, social, and economic level. This degree of partisanship has resulted in many of us falling into social bubbles (or silos) of people who agree with us and confirm our held beliefs. But how does that happen in the first place? Well, we’re going to need a little education in group dynamics.”
