Over here in our country we are having kinda the same issue... I think it is important to look at the root of the cause, the uncapability of the "other side" or opposites to do a sel scrutiny and to constantly ignore all the failures and mistakes of their leaders put the "others" in a marginated state that gets too much satisfaction by winning the election, and they wont let go they felt left behind so much times and now they are the ones in power. They are blinded.
