In the quest for Political polarization: Bridging the gap in divided societies, the spotlight rests on the united states. The political polarization that pervades its citizenry and political institutions is a grave issue. With the advent of social media, political dialogues and discourses have taken a unique direction with both political parties propagating different political ideologies.
