It feels like there’s no real political center left in the U.S. anymore. Everything has shifted toward the extremes. The Biden administration, radical progressive and left policies-immigration, lgtbq, climate investment, student loan relief. To conservatives, that’s viewed as far-left.
Meanwhile, Trump and his faction have pushed the GOP into hard-right territory, openly challenging democratic norms, rejecting institutions, snatching up people in the middle of day for free speech in the name of terrorism.
Where is the middle ground?

It's super-virtuous to be a moderate.

You were supposed to say, “I voted for Trump, but…”

Tell me how to reconcile Dems that tell us men can be women and its ok to kill innocent unborn babies for convenience and Republicans that say men cant be women and its not ok to kill innocent unborn babies for convenience.......

There is no middle. Its one side or the other.

Anyone looking for the middle of that is a fricking coward.

As a Trump supporter I consider myself a moderate. My entire family were Democrats up until Obama. The Maga base is a big tent party. The only reason you could think that the right is "extreme" is because you were told to think that. I find the majority of Trump voters to be more moderate than "far right".

Democratic norms such as illegal lawfare, fake impeachments, 4 FISA warrants based on a DNC paid for Russian sourced LIE?

Those norms?

That's exactly how terrorists and their supporters need to be treated.

L O L

The Biden admin locks up Trump, locks up his advisors and Trump is the one “challenging democratic norms”?

Your premise is as soft as your politics.

Oh buddy, pussies like you wouldn’t know what to do if we were fortunate enough to have an actual far-right government.

Trump is the middle. The left is just so far left now.
Search for some videos and you'll see Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama, Chuck Schumer, etc all saying illegals can't just come here and stay. That's not a far right position.

When the frick did this happen ? Snatching up people in the middle of the day who illegally in this country, and are violent gang members. Yeah that’s what’s happening and what 78 million people (the majority) voted for .

You don’t want middle ground. You want leftist-light which in itself is bullshite because you’ll just keep expecting us to cede ground under the guise of “equality” and “equity”. Which is what got us here in the first place

Is it ok to be in the middle but also be ok with people that are foreigners getting snatched up and sent home in the middle of the night? Gosh I hope so.

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. Barry Goldwater, 1964, still true.

I get that some people think Trump is extreme, but if you look at everything he’s doing, “too right” isn’t really the correct term. At least not under the traditional politics of right and left politics in this country.

That’s been kind of his point for a decade now.
