Will Bunch expresses what I've been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don't support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.
Sigh...It was a solid article, but it's a both sides issue.
outdated and detestable hierarchies of white supremacy and the patriarchy.
That's where the both sides come in. Centrists like me are the enemy.
For example: I'm for equal rights and LGBT rights, but against kids participating in drag shows. Dancing for dollars is not a skill preteens should have. (Yes, I've been to a drag show when that happened, and that's when I turned in my hard liberal card). I'm for BLM, but for the love of god, stop protesting people getting shot while holding a weapon. George Floyd was tragic, Travon Martin Michael Brown was justified.
The whole world hates men like me. I'm just a middle class white dude making responsible decisions. I'm clearly the devil according to both sides of major media these days. I'm either a liberal elite or a TERF. There's no in-between. There's no subtle discussions to be had about any major issues today. You're either in the frothing mad Trump army, or you're in the frothing mad militant BLM feminist mob.
Either way I vote in the next election is bad for America. The extremists are going to win.
EDIT: Just look at the the replies to this. It's all insanity from both sides.
