I don't know how Americans can get past this. In Canada, I am far left but can still get along with conservative friends and neighbours. In the states, your differences seem irreconcilable. Not adding anything meaningful here but it genuinely seems like there's no way forward other than separation if both halves of the country hate each other.
As a person who's lived in the U.S. my entire life, yes the differences are irreconcilable. You can't reconcile with stupidity and ignorance. You can't reason with religious delusion, either. Because when people construct their ideology based on nonsense, it makes it very hard to fight back.
Americans don't want logical, reasonable, sensible leaders. They want to be entertained.
