RE: Can the polarization between Democrats and Republicans in the U.S. be reversed?

Can it be averted? Yes, it can. But not by Democrats. Not after Mitch McConnell and his cronies refused to give Merrick Garland a hearing. To reward Republicans for their obstructionism during the Obama era, and the polarization that they are largely responsible for would only serve to encourage such behavior in the future. If the polarization is to end, Republicans have to make the move. We shouldn't give them what they want just because they're throwing a massive temper tantrum.

Will it be? I seriously doubt it. Not after Donald Trump.
