    I'm not saying that I've picked a side, just trying to give some insight on the cause of it.

My suggestion to you then is to reevaluate the different issues not based on the people / caricatures of people who support it (be it crooked politicians or peaceful hippies or anything in between) but more on their merits, taking nuance into account. I recently had quite a constructive conversation with someone leaning much farther to the right than myself about immigration and the discussion led me to understand not only his views and arguments better but also my own.
