Rethinking spectrum
Political views are often described on a spectrum with one side being “left” and one “right.” Political views can be more accurately thought of as set within a 3-D donut shape where some ends of the spectrum wrap around and connect at times. It is a dynamic concept. People of differing parties or beliefs can sometimes agree and actually work together.
Try visualizing it some time and think about all the people you know of differing political view points and how they are hard to fit in one end of a political spectrum all the time.
