Yep, it sure would.
The incentives just don't line up for media to stop doing what they are doing. I don't see people pushing from compromise or understanding even. People (including me) get hooked on arguments and the emotions connected with anger and outrage. We form habits and fall into these traps over and over again. This is why I think division/separation is the likely and probably best option until a plurality of people get it. They get the game.

It is difficult to find compromise when the base of each party thinks the other side is evil. If they would all just realize it is the people who want them to feel that way that are evil.

Hence the separation advice. I think the US is past compromise. I don't think there is going back.

Yeah interesting, talk about secession comes along pretty frequently on some of the podcasts I listen to (i.e. Tom Woods).
