The Art of Thinking in Between is the ability to hold multiple conflicting perspectives simultaneously - not to choose between them, but to extract what each one is actually asking for and construct a solution that none of them could have reached alone.
It's not compromise. Compromise gives everyone less than they wanted. The art of thinking in between gives everyone more than they asked for - because it works from values, not positions.
It's a cognitive skill built by people who grew up navigating multiple cultural frameworks at once. But anyone can learn it. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
