A Video Shown To Reduce Us vs. Them Political Contempt

If you want to help reduce toxic us vs. them polarization in America, we’ve got something easy you can do. 

The video below was created by Beyond Conflict, an organization that creates resources for reducing conflict. This video was found to be effective in reducing the distorted, overly pessimistic views many people have about Americans on the “other side,” and in lowering us vs. them animosity. 

We encourage you to share this post on social media. Help us start a chain reaction that gets Americans thinking and talking more about our distorted perceptions of each other. 

Watch a beer ad that was scientifically shown to reduce partisan animosity.
