America and its Conflicting Political Culture

    America has always been divided into many factions which was never a problem, until certain large factions stopped compromising. One of the biggest factions in America is the conflicting beliefs between Democrats and Republicans, also known as the Blue Wave against the Red Wall. This faction is a prime example to why America's political culture is extremely conflictual rather than consensual.

    The Crossfire brings in people on both sides of this ongoing war between two government beliefs to argue about issues that are continuing to be an issue for the country as a whole. The fact that this segment is even necessary is proof in itself that conflict is taking over political culture. The faction has gotten so out of hand that television shows take it upon themselves to try and help come up with a compromise since it is evident that the people themselves cannot handle it. Throughout part one of The Crossfire the to sides strongly stuck to their beliefs, refusing to budge their thoughts on what was right and being stubborn to compromise. They would rather yell and prove each other wrong then to think of a reasonable solution to better the country. 

In part three of The Crossfire, after saying their daily outrages, they ask which states are working more effectively for America. This approach is completely ridiculous, they are putting different states of the country against each other when they should be coming together. Instead of seeing which states are better, how about giving off ideas back and forth and comprising all of the bigger conflicts that are going on in the states? It is impossible to come together as a nation when the news in putting polls and charts together to see how divided we are. 

We already know whats wrong and that there are disagreements, so it is time to come together as Americans just like Trump said in his acceptance speech.
