How do we bridge a political divide amid polarization and demonization?

Full headline should be: "How do we bridge a political divide when both sides are convinced the other is the enemy, and unity is in all our best interests?" (Meetup's 80 character limit for the headline prevented us from including the full headline in that space)
Whether you're Republican, Democrat, Independent, or aligned with overlapping interests across parties, can we still find common ground and work together? Statistical data from Pew Research Center points out that "84% of Republican identifiers say “governs in an honest and ethical way” describes the Republican Party at least somewhat well, while 85% of those who identify as Democrats say the same about the Democratic Party. Conversely, just 9% of Republicans say the Democratic Party governs in an honest and ethical way, and only 12% of Democrats say this about the GOP." https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2022/08/09/2-traits-of-the-parties-trump-and-the-gop/
