Ultimately the only solution is edumacation, but only with the truth, and not indoctrination, which has been happening on a massive scale for eons. Folks need to be taught how to think rather than being trained to be parrots.

It's not a matter of being re-educated. What someone on the right or left want's to push in academia is wrong to the right or left respectively. Anyone can exploit, and indoctrinate mass groups again with a new doctrine. The problem just continues.
The solution is to stop being indoctrinated.

The right is for protecting the right doctrine.
The left is for protecting the left doctrine.
Both go seeking information to confirm, and strengthen their beliefs, i.e. confirmation bias.
This behavior is detrimental to facts & reality.

We could academically argue the point but suffice to say, our sane & mostly normal society is normally operated by the Right.
Having said that, it's as close to facts & reality that we're accustomed to & more comfortable with.
What is normal? The usual, average, or typical state or condition.
Out of registered voters
Independents 29.09%
Republicans 28.87%
Democrats 39.66%
If you averaged everyone's ideal of "normal" It would be weighted towards the left as the people setting the standard for normal. (not saying that's good or bad. just saying)
As for sane, in the mentally i'll respect? Interesting, wonder if there is an unbiased study on mental illness, and political party.
