And this dichotomy is felt at the personal level in most people in America: Dems can't stand red necks and red necks can't stand dems. The repulsion is real. And it's not decreasing with time. It's increasing according to polls: the two groups don't trust each other. One thing people have in common: They accept the results of elections. It's a big thing. Otherwise, only a major conflagration could unite people and nobody wants that to happen: There must be a way for people who dislike each other so much to live in peace together. Most of the latest nominations of trump are disheartening.
