My world is and has been highly diverse in culture/subculture, ideology, religion and worldview as well as "racially". It has given me an intimate view of them. While I don't agree with all of that, I usually can empathize and hopefully have some understanding of it.
One thing that I see a lot of is, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Enemies are often the result of resentment.
There is enough truth in that that the left is easily lampooned, ridiculed and memed from sites like https://babylonbee.com/ Liberals often resent that. That site was removed from Twitter during the pre-Musk silencing of such things (they're back).
I could give more examples, but that is enough to make the point, I hope. I think that far fewer are blind to the flaws in their own š“šŖš„š¦ than we believe, but resentment allows them to be ignored. Aaaand, resentment is an emotion and emotion is king, contrary to what people wish to believe about themselves.
Most of the world embraces the folly of the first and ignores the wisdom of the second, living in silos of what is often misconception of their š¦šÆš¦š®šŖš¦š“.
I š©š§š® to understand, rather than judge, when it comes to people. I emphasized try because I am human, complete with emotions which often leads to judgement and worse.

The working-class conservatives (poorly educated basket of deplorables who cling to their guns and bibles) in flyover country resent the hell out of the contempt that so often comes from arrogant liberals. When a Trump, Carlson or Palin comes along and gives their nemesis the finger, they like it, actually they love it. They don't really fail to see their flaws but "šš©š¦ š¦šÆš¦š®šŗ š°š§ š®šŗ š¦šÆš¦š®šŗ šŖš“ š®šŗ š§š³šŖš¦šÆš„."

Some basics from my time living in Saudi Arabia. "šš©š¦ š¦šÆš¦š®šŗ š°š§ š®šŗ š¦šÆš¦š®šŗ šŖš“ š®šŗ š§š³šŖš¦šÆš„." and "šš¦š¦š± šŗš°š¶š³ š§š³šŖš¦šÆš„š“ š¤šš°š“š¦ š¢šÆš„ šŗš°š¶š³ š¦šÆš¦š®šŖš¦š“ š¤šš°š“š¦š³." Distressing to big space Americans, they took close seriously and sat touching each other. You can feel a sudden attack before you see it.
