The left/right schism is fundamentally a rift between people whose extensive training in literacy has insulated them from the disorienting effects of the internet, but only through a process of detachment; and people without all that, plus some sociopaths.

I think it's sad that younger generations won't get to experience this
For Americans, Dick Clark was the personification of all the preceding year’s misfortunes and sorrows.
Each year a Dick Clark was chosen to be feasted and feted for the final week of December, until being sealed inside a ball by temple attendants for the sacrifice on the night of the 31st.

Good maxim to ring in the new year with, honestly.
Repeat after me:
I am not calmer than Kamala Harris.
I am not calmer than Karl Marx.
I am not calmer than Bailey Jay.
I am not calmer than Pope John XXIII.
But if I stand back and watch and learn,
I will be calmer than I am.

It's actually a kind of unusual moment in history, where women have so much autonomy that they can just choose not to date or marry a guy if they think he sucks, and also there's a huge cohort of men who are completely unprepared for having a partner whose opinion they have to consider.

I do think there is something kind of interesting about this, which this article never really gets at and which is at the heart of conservative complaints about feminism, and it is that this problem is driven exclusively by women being allowed to have opinions.
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
Majority of Gen Z swipe left on dating people with opposite political views

Walked past Billy Connolly helping move stuff from a truck into an apartment near St. Mark's Place in NYC. He was giving a grin and a wave to somebody else who recognized him.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie
