One promising approach for reducing affective polarization is priming a shared American identity and one promising event to prime that identity is the 4th of July.

We conceptually replicated this study using a 9-wave longitudinal design in 2019. https://www.roneverhart.com/Arjo-Sara-Stedy-Stand-Assist-Manual-Patient-Standing-Aid/
