Sharp polarization is one of the most dangerous diseases of political life. It divides society into opposing camps and turns every discussion into a battle over identity.
In such an environment, real questions disappear:
How do we reform the economy?
How do we rebuild institutions?
How do we protect rights?
They are replaced by a single question: “Which side are you on?”
Mature political action is not based on eliminating the other side, but on organizing disagreement and transforming it into programs and visions open to debate.
A society that learns how to manage its differences politically is a society moving closer to a civil state, even when its ideological positions vary.
