I'd say the issue is that most people have "generally treats other people with respect" as one of their non negotiable traits. High information society combined with extreme siloization has brought us to a point where a significant portion of society believes that those who vote for the other party do not generally treat others with respect. It's an extremely difficult thing to look past in a partner. It comes down to the most basic understanding of what respect is and unfortunately I do not think it's a trick, Trump voters generally do not treat minorities with the respect that democrats deeply believe they deserve. Dem voters generally do not treat trump supporters with the respect trump supporters deeply believe they deserve. I don't see any solution.
