"True Blue" or "True Red" ;-) ? Yes, I agree. And Haidt (I feel like I'm promoting him but I'm really note - but he outta give me a commission!) is really big on viewpoint diversity and the need for a broader range of voices in the conversation. He talks about how lack of diversity in the faculty of colleges and universities is a terrible thing in the long run, for the culture and for democracy. He founded Heterodox Academy as an attempt to push back against the tide and encourage more viewpoint diversity. https://heterodoxacademy.org/our-mission/
