There are people/groups who only view events in the vein of how those events will confirm or discredit their own ideology.
I'd say 20% right or left fall into this category, while 60% of people accept that people have differences and that the best course is to implement policies that benefit all people in general, regardless of its ideological basis.
I think that 60% is turned off by politics as usual, and haven't participated in the electoral process.
If that 60% can be shown their place at the table and convinced to participate, the effects of the 20% on either wing are meaningless.
I think/hope this is where all the events currently are headed.
So yeah, explosive.
