"Is there any feasible way to build long-run trust? I say there is. Instead of aggressively bargaining for what you want, listen to your opponents’ fears. Then do things that you probably wouldn’t do if their fears were well-based. Go out of your way to reassure your opponents. Some examples:
If conservatives fear that expansionary fiscal policy is a Trojan horse for Big Government, liberals could offer to make all the expansion come from tax cuts rather than spending increases.
If liberals fear that deregulation is a ploy to help the rich, conservatives could focus on pro-poor deregulation, such as relaxing of zoning and land use rules for low-income housing.
If conservatives fear that opposition to deportations is a liberal plot to elect a new people, liberals could support legislation that legalizes work and residence without granting citizenship.
If liberals fear that conservatives are waging Islamophobic war, conservatives could admit a million Muslim refugees right before fighting begins."
