> I downvoted you because you are repeating the tired old trope about implicit biases and agendas.

Hardly tired- biases and agendas caused the deep political divide in the U.S. and Brexit in England. While it's not news to those in the know, it's certainly not something we should hide or stop talking about.

Here's a study for you:

Political actors are supposed to have an agenda aren't they?
My point was that these biases and agendas have more and more driven a wedge, dividing the people of the U.S., Britain, and others.
I'm not sure about this: I think the people were already divided, and this is now being being exploited politically.
