The Myth of a Divided America | Dr. Todd Rose
2Description
Dr. Todd Rose joins Rep. Crenshaw to discuss his latest research into Americans’ views on the most controversial issues, including abortion, immigration, the defund the police movement, and antisemitism. The conclusion? It turns out Americans are a lot less divided than you might think. Dr. Rose identifies the root causes of this false polarization and calls attention to a far greater concern for the future of the country: the overwhelming majority of Americans who believe society is inherently unfair to them.

United States
An America united on a "contractual" basis. Implied, in writing, & oral/verbal contracts are positive & constructive, in our dealings with one another. Contractualism isn't a good idea-- anything goes in our dealings w/ 1 another, or w/ a higher power. That old scripture about worshipping God in spirit & in truth--the new covenant. A myth to some, that America's disunited,however a reality to others.Through all the meritocracy&culture,our dealings w/ 1 another matter. Avoid contractualists.
