  "At one point, Garland rather passionately pointed out that Civil War is trying to create a conversation about political divisiveness in general that vilifies the other side; ratcheting up rhetoric into an ethical debate which makes it easier to see others as evil - and once somebody is considered morally wrong, their opponents can justify all sorts of extreme measures to stop them."

  ""Why are we talking and not listening?" he asked. "We've lost trust in the media and politicians. And some in the media are wonderful and some politicians are wonderful-on both sides of the divide. I have a political position and I have good friends on the other side of that political divide."

  "Honestly, I'm not trying to be cute: What's so
  hard about that? Why are we shutting
  [conversation] down? Left and right are
  ideological arguments about how to run a
  state. That's all they are. They are not a right
  or wrong, or good and bad. It's which do you
  think has greater efficacy? That's it. You try
  one, and if that doesn't work out, you vote it
  out, and you try again a different way. That's a
  process. But we've made it into 'good and
  bad. We made it into a moral issue, and it's
  fucking idiotic, and incredibly dangerous ... I
  personally [blame] some of this on social
  media. There is a an interaction that exists
  human-to-human that floats away when it
  reaches a public forum.""
