It is entirely possible that the current political standoff that we are seeing in the USA is not an "ideological dispute" but instead a conflict between two groups of people with entirely different psychological brain neuron structures; i.e. two groups of people whose inherent physiological differences in brain structure connections have been been developed (by a life time of existence in the "same" environment) to be two entirely different kinds of "information processing engines." One group seems to want to provide easy path for financial accumulation and hoarding. The other group wants to ensure a safe and fair society for all members. In this case, there can never be an amicable compromise, unless these inherent brain structure connection differences can be resolved.
Additional note: There may be analogy with the process of taking "selfie's?" (a selfie is a cell phone picture where the photographer includes their own image in the foreground of the scene). People that regularly take selfies seem to do it all the time and that seems to be their favorite way of documenting an event. Other people rarely take selfies and usually document an event with "regular photographs." Perhaps the inclination to take selfie's or not, is similar to the political orientation? These two positions might be 1. I am most concerned about my place in society (no matter what), or 2, I am most concerned about how society is structured for everyone and I will take my appropriate place.
Now the real question is: Is the difference in brain structure connections inherently formed at birth, or is it influenced by environment and experience?
