This is my problem with these efforts to get people out of their “bubble.”

I am on the left end of the American political spectrum. I’d Vote Blue no matter what because the other side is too far gone, to the point where it’s not even worth my time or energy to even begin to understand that side. For me, it’s just objectively wrong.

“My” team believes in science. The other team believes that there are shadow forces in the government who control everything and that people on “my” side are devil worshiping pedophiles who believe that my skin color makes me a lesser person or that my Jewish friends are trying to “replace” them.

What’s the point in leaving my bubble?

Hmm...

I think you are getting an _extremely_ distorted view of what the other side actually believes, only being exposed to the most zany extremes.

I also very much doubt "your" side believes in science as much as you think. Politically inconvenient facts are ignored by all politically motivated groups and attempting to do studies that could contradict bedrock dogma is a good way to be out a career (as Stephen Hsu just found out after he got fired recently for funding a study investigating race and police brutality several years ago that ended up returning the "wrong" answer).
