The results for "war" and "peace" are not surprising, but they sure are dramatic.

Re toxic partisanship, the only way to "get past" that is for the people on each side who are willing to work together to do so, and shut the toxic ones out of the process entirely so that they can't poison it. You can't reason someone into empathy once they've decided it's okay to support measures that kill other people.

Re Milwaukee, the fastest way to repair relationships between black neighborhoods and police would be to CONVICT THE GODDAMN KILLER COPS when they shoot someone for trivial reasons or none at all. But that's not even on the table.

Re Greek looters: Albanians contend the herbs are there and the Greeks don't pick them, so why shouldn't somebody profit?

Gee, that sounds exactly like Republicans about our national parks, doesn't it?
