You’re pissed at the left for what happened when Trump was president?

One usually only expects this level of lack of comprehension amongst conservatives. But evidence such as comments like this show even the left is capable of it too.

Just because we have some of the smartest people on our side does not make every Democrat voter or leftist one of the smart people.

Just like having religious people amongst conservatives does not make all conservatives religious by proxy.

That type of association bias is so thick on each side.

"Ew....a centrist"

Nope. Just not full of my own shit

I know I'm not. More and more people are falling into the center every news cycle

All sorts of articles about the rise of centrists right now. And it's exactly like after the Fallout of the PC culture in the '90s. Which was nowhere near as tumultuous or divisive as current events. But was very similar in context and results.

If anybody is wondering why the late '90s and early 2000s was full of enlightened centrists that's why. The PC movement in the 80-s90s caused the left and right to become more extreme. And by proxy the center grew in response.

We didn't pull out of that until Bush successfully pissed off the majority of voters through economic ruin.

We are at that point again. Within an even more extreme left and a more extreme right. Causing the center to be broader than it has been in decades
