Right now the political parties in the USA are one side, who are filled with actual nazis, and then on the other side is everybody else.
This from an administration who already ran a sucsessful 2016 campaign based on the ideas of racism, which ended in the preventable deaths of over 1 million people. Yes, covid played a part, but the administration at the time downplayed covid's seriousness. Thus enabling roughly half the country to treat it as a political issue rather than a deadly disease. And trump, behind closed doors, knowing a tape recorder was on, fully admitted to embracing covid with the belief that it would kill more leftists (since they live in the city and more densely compacted) than it would right wingers (since they live in isolated farms).
And people, willingly voted for him in 2 more elections. He didn't win 2020, but it's not like it was a landslide.
Roughly half the country are nazi supporters. They wanted this.
And you ask if we should work with opposing parties? Maybe in more sane times, when the issues on the line are things like communications acts, or tax reform. But not now. Not when the agenda is "burn all those who oppose us".
