I keep going back to this, from the late Barbara Jordan: "Immigration imposes mutual obligations. Those who choose to come here must embrace the common core of American civic culture. We must assist them in learning our common language: American English. We must renew civic education in the teaching of American history for all Americans."
You're right. It's unity, not diversity. Few of our new "immigrants" seem to be interested at all in assimilation. One particular group is focused on taking over and making Their ways dominant .
We may not be at the tipping point, but we're closing in on it as high speed.
The scope and scale of the cancer far exceeds Trump's ability to fix it
"Cultural debates - over immigration, race, religion, and free speech - often devolve into zero-sum battles, lacking the shared values Washington deemed essential."
The underlying conflict that's the foundation of this divide was omitted.
Abortion.
Look back at the history of this conflict, and you'll find it's beginning coincides with Roe v. Wade. The pathology needed to overlook the possibility that the unborn may be persons has blossomed into a more overarching denial of reality that removes any commonality between progressives and the sane. Without any common ground, any hope for civility is futile.

Michael, your friendly proofreader is here. I suspect that an "o" has been flogged by an "i" in the phrase "unifying a nation if individualists".
Thanks. Fixed.
