I really hate the phrase "political divide," which seems designed to paper over the fact that we have a major political party that's actively trying to demolish democracy in order to establish a genocidal autocratic police state.
The divide is real but it isn't the problem.

The reason big houses should rethink conservative publishing is because the GOP is actively trying to demolish democracy in order to establish a genocidal autocratic police state, and while there's money to be made from publishing them, nobody should want to make money that way.
I'm not really trying to single out Publisher's Weekly, it's just "political divide" is an all-pervasive phrase unhelpful b/c it locates the problem with the divide rather than the cause.
It would be better replaced by "white supremacist autocracy" in almost all cases.

Example: "As White Supremacist Autocracy Widens, Will Big Houses Rethink Conservative Publishing?"
You'd probably want to rethink the verb "widens," but ...
See how it more accurately frames the problem we're facing?

Josh Hawley was involved in a white supremacist violent attempt to overthrow democracy in the United States, and neither he nor the followers he hopes to rally to himself nor the party for which he works are done trying.
That's just the facts. State what he is plainly.

I've said it before, but I love our political divide. The fact that we're not united on overthrowing democracy to install a genocidal white supremacist autocracy is one of the best things about this country.
May the divide widen.
