So, the particular problem here is the internet and social media in general.

Make them go away and most of our political divide starts to disappear, with that said TV news is pretty crazily divided these days.

Simply put your idea does not work when there is huge amount of active propaganda with the entire purpose of causing confusion and division. "This video will make you angry" hits on the psychology of what's occurring. People don't spend most of their time communicating with 'the other side'. They spend most of the time attacking purpose built strawmen to solidify their convictions.
