Or: by seeing themselves, and a voter for the other side, as co-victims of an optical illusion, designed to trick each of them into being unable to find another’s areas of true seeing. And by working together to figure out how the illusion works, while seeing it as a common enemy.
But my specific hypothesis here is that the illusion works by misconstruing the other voter’s “Robert can see a problem with candidate Y” as “Robert can’t see the problem with candidate X”, and that if you focus on trying to decode first the illusion won’t kick in as much.
