There is such a deep political polarization because people are disconnected from other humans and don’t know how to feel a sense of purpose. So they use political partisanship as a substitute. It helps them feel like they are part of something.
The need for the crutch of partisanship gets to the point where people completely evacuate all capacity to act in their own interest, observe evidence and avoid being exploited.

Nah, it’s just people choosing sports teams, the kinds of people who would never play those sports because they might get punched in the face.
Why not simply choose partisanship if you would otherwise be completely ineffective at changing the flavour of events, let alone the outcome?
