United States Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and the “polarization” of United States politics

In the United States, "polarization" has allegedly paralyzed the country's politics, with Democrats moving left and Republicans moving  right. Supposedly, if "both sides" were willing to compromise, the country's political business could get done again. But when asked by undercover activist Lauren Windsor what could be done about polarization, United States Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said that "it’s difficult [...], because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised." And Alito will not compromise on "return[ing] our country to a place of godliness." Polarization comes not from "both sides" but from a far right who want to impose their "Christian nationalism" on the rest of the country. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 11 June 2024)
