Why Do Politicians Always Agree on the Big Issues but Fight Over Small Ones?

Politicians often agree on big things like war or peace, but they fight over small ones like taxes or the color of a building. This is because big issues are easier to agree on, everyone wants the same good thing. But when it comes to small details, politicians use them as a way to show who has more power.
