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

In 1970, Nixon’s chief of staff, H. R. Haldeman, asked the president’s political team to develop “a plan to mobilize the Silent Majority.” The White House operative Charles Colson incorporated “Silent Majority Inc.” in all 50 states and organized rallies through fake grass-roots organizations like Americans for Winning the Peace and the Honor America Committee. The administration worked on an internal “blue-collar strategy” to finesse the economic liberalism and cultural conservatism of white working-class Democrats viewed as potential Republican voters. The White House even orchestrated the formation of a National Black Silent Majority Committee to represent African-Americans being “shouted down by a handful of militants.”

The "Silent Majority" were the good warmongers who didn't want to see America lose.  Well.  We did lose.  But the divisiveness had been unleashed which is what happens when you tell one group they are good and the other group that they suck.  And it never went away.

It's all the same shit, and with Vietnam lost it morphed into the anti-abortion crowd.  But at the bottom it remains slimy motherfuckers who want to tell everyone else how to live.
