Not sure if you’re serious.That isn't division, it's analysis. Looking at the overlapping factors that create a personality. How could that possibly be divisive? You look closely to see what pressures are in play, and you aren't doing it to exploit those pressures.
It's like "affirmation", conservatives hear a word and pretend it means what they want it to mean. Affirmation is the therapeutic process of giving someone the support to make their own decision. Relieve some of the unbearable pressure. Conservatives sell it as pushing the trans ideology, which is explicitly prohibited in the treatment.
I'm not going to pretend progressives are saints, we're human. I've used the epithet "chud" far too many times to feign innocence. I don't know if you've ever noticed me complaining about liberal pundits on this forum, I despise anyone who can only see an issue through a surgically partisan lens.
With actual lawmakers, though, conservatives are overwhelmingly more divisive. They have to be, they don't actually work on issues so they live for the culture war.
I'm going to close out with the admission I don't think that's true of all conservative lawmakers, I know there are some really good ones. Problem is the lunatics get all the press, and these past few years of insanity have purged a lot of the good ones from the party. You have to know this is true.
Instead of seeing a person, the whole idea of intersectionality is to make the differences between each person front and center.
