Had this convo with someone the other day and the question I can't answer is -- from a pol's perspective -- what is the ROI of unity? Is it better to have unity or be on the winning side of strife?

I do not underestimate the ability of our elected leaders to wrongly think they can control the strife right up until it does tho

I mean, they have shut down over optics, and repositioned their messaging to virtue signal goodthink. Something like 88% of America unified to condemn Jan 6th so it's a slam dunk messaging opportunity.
