It is completely wild to me how effectively society has self segregated to the point of just straight up never, not even once, interacting with the other group without even realizing it.

The college thing is a much bigger divide than politics for my friend group. My wife is about as blue-tribe as you can get. My best-man is pretty darn red tribe (and not Mitt Romney red-tribe, but "likely to vote for Trump in the next Republican primary" red-tribe).

They both have college degrees though. I have a few friends who dropped out of college, but none that never attended.
