But the left is usually the most divorced from reality... whether you want to call reality "correct" is up to you.
Terrible level of stereotyping.
You do realise that the whole "Left/Right" thing is just about exploiting division by certain psychopaths. It's a terrible thing to do to a country, it should be classed as treasonous.
It's the natural consequence of progressives having no limiting principles, ever running further leftward. That ideology is the source of division. Decades of stats have shown that the right has hardly moved (and slightly leftward at that) while the left has sprinted to ever greater extremes. When you try to drag the Overton window that far, you not create a widening gap with the right, you also increasingly orphan the former left.
There are psychopaths exploiting you... by convincing you that it's a "both sides" phenomena. That's the trick they play with the Overton window. Convincing those not paying attention that the "middle" has never moved and "both sides" have grown equally extreme. It is a terrible thing to do... weaponizing the historical ignorance of a population for which their government-funded schools are designed to fail.
You're the exact product they wanted to produce.
I thought you were probably closer with 'Trump derangement syndrome' .. one ring to rule them all isn't everyone's cup of tea. Trump is (arguably) the most extreme manifestation of Trump in US history and that does lead to 'strange' consequences.
You say "There are psychopaths exploiting you [creating division]"
I say "Trump creates division just by being Trump"
You say "[that] illustrates my point"

You really think you said "Trump creates division just by being Trump"?
You got a decoder ring for that? @_@
