It seems like EVERYTHING political is super divisive these days, but there’s a new list online of over 100 policy proposals that MOST Republicans and MOST Democrats SUPPORT, based on recent polling.

Of course nothing is 100% . . . other than preferring a side of fries over a side salad.  Here are a few policies that get AT LEAST 75% SUPPORT from both parties:
