Why does America feel so divided?

In this episode of Nobody’s Side, guests from across the political spectrum share what they believe is driving the deep divisions in our country. Three themes come up again and again: extreme voices drowning out moderates, a media ecosystem fueled by outrage, and political leaders who amplify conflict rather than calm it.

But the conversation goes deeper than politics. Many guests point to something more fundamental — the human instinct to defend our political tribes, even when it means sacrificing facts, ethics, or common ground.
