A lot of people here are talking about the "healing the division" but what if the path forward is to figure out how to exist with the division? We need to start getting more creative than just wishfully thinking this polarization is going away anytime soon because news flash, it's not. So what is the step forward?

A national divorce needs to start being talked about more seriously. It's at least peaceful and amicable, and better than the other alternatives (civil war, foreign conquerors, authoritarianism, etc).

This isn't "giving up" on the problems per say, but instead, accepting reality and thinking of solutions going forward. Thinking the left and right can be unified again is as wishful as thinking Artificial intelligence won't displace anymore workers.
