Do you wrestle with knowing that your political and moral leanings are not only influenced by their counterparts, but also with not knowing if those beliefs are even truly choices you make? You have more in common with those you hate than you’ll admit. Everyone’s a good person in a world full of bad people. And the people you oppose think the same for you. The fact that you can’t understand that just keeps proving my point.

The real problem here is your poor reading comprehension. The mechanisms of the brain that reach conclusions are the same. The reaction to influence and how that manifests in behavior. The idea that the “other” is flawed in their beliefs while the “self” is the correct belief.
