what do you think will mend our political divide?

we all know one of america’s biggest issues is our own political divide between democrats and republicans. which obviously is mainly because of the dramatic difference in viewpoints nowadays. but how do we fix it? how do we go back to how it was before we all hated each other for our opinions? why do we have to hate each other for thinking differently? why can’t we agree to disagree the way we used to. people are being hurt, killed, discriminated against just because you like or dislike a political figure. in my opinion i think that is the root of our countries problem right now. as a country no matter our differences we should be able to unite together and instead we are killing each other and blaming it on a donkey or an elephant. how do you think this will play out in 10 years? do you think we will ever go back to how it was? what do you think we need to do to be able to unite again as a single country and not 2 parties based solely off of beliefs ?
