Yep. There is a lot of hubris.

In general right wing folks don't believe we have a big problem, which is literal denial.

In general left wing folks believe we can solve the problem easily without much sacrifice, which is denial of the implications.

When right wing people look at left wing people they think the solutions are not going to work and would be a big scary change and a sure loss of our way of life.

When left wing people look at right wing people they think that they are stupid for being pragmatic and realist instead of idealistic and fantastical.

Its a game where both sides blame one another and decades slip comfortably by while we remain deadlocked.
