I believe I do not fit into either group, and would react differently in many different ways, depending on the context at hand. For a long time, I would defend my beliefs aggressively, and was confident that my perspective was more correct. I made no attempt at attempting to understand the motivations behind the opposing viewpoint, and spent most of my time taking an axe to nuance, working to prove the opposing viewpoint wrong, rather than trying to understand it, and look for the flaws in my own viewpoint.

The political system in the United States is composed primarily of a two party system. If a candidate wishes to have any chance of being elected, they must appeal to one of the two parties. If a candidate doesn't align closely enough to the beliefs of the party, then they have a significantly worse chance of winning. Anyone who attempts to question ideas, may be considered a 'fake' republican | democrat. Each party conforms to a stringent beliefs system, and many of the viewpoints are held, simply because they're the opposite of the other party. This whole system discourages reflection and improvement, holding on to ideas that stagnate and grow convoluted, holding bitterly onto one 'correct' viewpoint.
