What is it like to be a Trump supporter?

I think the level of active antipathy that's been stoked lately is detrimental. "Who gives a shit, really?" is a power move I haven't seen perfected in politics. It'd be nice, to be sure.

Maybe finding ways that we can reassure each other that we don’t have to care is the part of way forward. Problem now is that left & right both believe “the other side” is bent on extermination, or at least total domination, and so react with fear and defensive aggression.

Active understanding would be best, but yes mutual apathetic indifference would be preferable to the status quo. Maybe enabled by archipelago/city states, as you suggest

Make Politics Boring Again. For most voters, it's like the engine light on the car. Don't expect engine light to go on. Will probably ignore for quite a while, even if agree engine light is potentially v. serious. When bonus or tax refund comes in: fix it immediately. Bonus=vote

Don't confuse apathy with prioritization within a mental model. Pragmatically, it makes sense to ignore a terrible President until you can do something (even minor) about it, like vote, at which point you suddenly "shift." Again, engine light's no use until you can respond.
