My Two Cents: Country First?
What it really boils down to is the basic principles of Math:
Division leaves with you less in the end
Multiplication leaves you with more
It is elementary and something that we learn by third grade, however it is a lesson that some have clearly not learned to employ:
Applying divisive methods and tactics while claiming that what you want is to preserve the whole is hypocritical and will ultimately result in a less than result or, in other words -
YOU LOSE.
On the other hand,
Practicing inclusive methods allows you to multiply what you had to begin with and guarantees that in the end - you'll have more than what you started out with,
in other words -
YOU WIN.
What continues to divide will diminish and destroy. What includes serves to expand what already existed in the first place.
Math 101.
That's my two cents (for whatever it's worth).
