We can agree to disagree, but my view is that the US has dozens or hundreds of problems we can’t solve—education, criminal justice, the deficit, the military-industrial complex—because the government is paralyzed because of partisan hatred.

True
because the government is paralyzed because of partisan hatred.
Not true. The government is paralyzed (see the grandparent: “ossified and sclerotic”) because people and institutions which find the status quo convenient and profitable are powerful and able to block changes.
And if you want a dominant active government, well, be careful of what you wish for.
because the government is paralyzed because of partisan hatred.
Eh, no. Not in the case of USA. Republicans have locked the Congress, and they have a (theoretically) Republican president. It should be smooth sailing if it were only for partisan hatred.
