Politics is a machine that will forever run on division. This division is the nature of robust, democratic, and pluralist political systems. However, disagreement does not necessarily need to lead to disagreeability. This is an idea that seems to be largely forgotten by vast swathes of both sides of the political aisle. William F. Buckley Jr.'s Guide to Friendship in a Polarized Era seeks to indirectly address this gulf and to assist in promulgating the idea that lifelong and rewarding friendships are possible under the conditions of political and ideological differences. And how civility can be returned to our society. The book also seeks to redress the various machinations in society that contributed to the devastation wrought by tribal vitriol in America. This includes institutions such as academia and journalism, and it advocates-- just as Buckley would have-- for a robust infusion of Christian ethics into these institutions and our broader society.
