There are many people who find the collectivisim/individualism distinction facile and inadequate, though. I feel you're making a point about ideology in general, however I can't see what's wrong with subscribing to a particular ideology, so long as you agree with it. The point is not to follow it dogmatically.

The point I was trying to make was that the discourse is so dogmatic it's as if people live in alternate universes.

People can't even mention certain topics because the word you use to describe the topic reveals which "side" you are on (e.g. the "Muslim ban").

>(e.g. the "Muslim ban").

And "sanctuary cities".
