I think we can push issues towards being less political by reframing them and persuading others to reframe them.
Abortion, gun control, tax rate—these issues are so central to the left-right political divide that they will never be depoliticized.
Climate change is not like them IMO. I think it can be pushed away from the political left-right axis if it can be reframed so that doing something about climate change is no longer seen as supporting left-wing ideas about big government. There is an angle about efficiency, fairness & cutting red tape (carbon tax) and another angle about innovation and industry (e.g. Tesla). I think we should be pushing those very hard.
