Large majorities of Republicans and Democrats say they can't agree on basic facts, and both parties report hating political opponents more than they love political allies.
Research finds that these misconceptions about the other side are often wrong, leading to an exaggerated perception of animosity and moral values.
Surveys show Democrats think a large number of Republicans earn over $250,000; the real statistic is only 2.2%. Misconceptions shape our beliefs.
The political environment drives false beliefs about the opposing side's values, making us assume they approve of obvious moral wrongs.
