Do So

The challenge of sustaining democracy is complicated by the fact that political engagement exposes citizens to a cognitive and social dynamical force known as belief polarization that leads us to over-ascribe malicious motives, irrational ideas, and extreme commitments to those who we perceive to be political opponents. As we politically interact with our fellow partisans, we come to see those who do not share our political identity as untrustworthy, incompetent, and threatening. This gives rise to the democrat’s dilemma. However, belief polarization also infects our alliances, turning groups of like-minded people into increasingly homogeneous and conformist units that ultimately are internally hierarchical and unstable. The reason we have to sustain democracy with our foes is that unless we do so, we will not be able to sustain democracy among our allies.

Belief Polarization

This chapter provides a prescription for addressing the problem of overdoing democracy. As politics always involves loss, democratic citizens need to cultivate within themselves capacities required for sustaining democratic commitments even in the face of political loss; they need to be able to regard one another as political equals even when they also see each other as severely mistaken about justice. Civic friendship is the blanket term used to refer to these capacities. Belief polarization under political saturation creates civic enmity, so the solution to the problem of overdoing democracy is to figure out how to cultivate civic friendship. It is argued that more or even better democratic engagement is likely to be counterproductive, and that the relevant capacities can be nurtured only by means of nonpolitical cooperative endeavors. A plan is put forward for doing this.
