Has unity become a foul word?

@Soossie's post got me to thinking about our country and wondering if, at this juncture, we the people could find the pathway to a unified country.

Granted, we’ve never, except for rare moments, truly been unified, or even a gracious (to one another) nation; but is it impossible for the majority of us to sit and “break bread” and become unified in a way forward?

What are your thoughts both for and against the idea?

I'm open to thoughts and ideas from others than those who live in the U.S.

american here. i'm not close enough to the issues in other countries to make any material suggestions on their challenges. as for how to improve life here in usa:

•adopt ranked-choice voting or open primaries to combat partisanship
•strengthen education about democratic processes, critical thinking skills and media literacy
•support local journalism for more balanced relevant content, reducing national media that emphasizes conflict
