It’s the enemy of my enemy mentality. Somewhere along the line we stopped having opposing political party’s and now have opposing countries I don’t know who’s to blame.

That is where things are heading and we've got to stop it. Two things are happening at the same time.  Democrats are changing their opinions very rapidly.  For instance, transgender issues were never even discussed then suddenly you're a bigot if you don't celebrate them.  And Republicans are becoming more and more corrosive of our institutions and goodwill as each new generation of right wingers takes the maxim that "the government is the problem" more and more literally.
But blame is about the past.
For the future, we have to do a better job of listening to each other. Making each other feel like they've been heard. You might disagree with Pelosi, but if you insult her, you're also insulting the hundreds of thousands of people who elect her as their representative, and the hundreds of equally elected representatives who elect her as speaker. It works out to insulting over a hundred million people, just by insulting Pelosi. We have to be less cavalier with such insults. We don't have to give those hundreds of millions of Democrats exactly what they want. But we can't spit on them either.
