    It’s also important to look at those positions.

    Like, abortion.

    To some people, aborting a 3 week old fetus is murder. Because their religion goes even further and says a guy jacking off is mass murder because that “seed” should only be used for heterosexual sex that would result in a child. Which makes them incredibly hypocritical, but they’re used to that

    To others it’s just a clump of cells with zero brain activity growing in a women’s body and she decides if she wants to let it grow.

    Both sides see the other as evil and obviously wrong.

    Which is why it’s been a “wedge issue” for decades. Both parties can cater to corporations and the wealthy, and disagree on stuff like this that makes it so a large segment of the population never agrees with the other on who to vote for, and both parties can agree on stuff like how little taxes the wealthy have to pay while still presenting themselves as opposites.
