Uncivil Agreement

How Politics Became Our Identity
Summary:

The book examines the increasing polarization in American politics, arguing that political identities have merged with other social identities to create a tribal division. It explores how this alignment of party affiliation with personal identity intensifies partisanship, leading to societal divisions that extend beyond policy preferences into personal relationships and social interactions.

Key points:

1. Political Identity Overlap: In the U.S., political identities now merge with race, religion, and location, creating "mega-identities" that go beyond policy and intensify party conflicts.
