The Dissonance Will Be Resolved

People love what "the far left agenda" does for them, and Republicans can't stand that, even though they're in favor of practically everything the Dems are doing - feeding school kids, building roads and bridges, clean drinking water, etc. But their brand is all about hating the thought of people feeling happy and safe and secure.

Not all cognitive dissonance can be or should be totally resolved - we need a little duality to keep us thinking, and on our toes. But when it becomes obvious that one political side wants us to live in peace and to thrive in a system that treats people fairly, while the other side is constantly manufacturing threats that drive paranoia, and divide us into smaller and smaller groups in order to set us against each other - that kind of dissonance is poisonous, and we have to beat it down.
