I don't think the world of political discourse is really divided into two "sides" as you imply, despite that being useful for media that make money from making people angry.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoI’m open minded to what you are saying - but if you don’t think there are “sides” or at least someone has a strong interest in promoting that idea - it may because you are too firmly planted in one side yourself. I agree with GP, as someone with no clear cut political ideology, it’s obvious that wedge issues are formed and selected to fit divisions. See no further than almost every establishment Democrat having talked about border security for years, even building a wall in comments, now voting against anything border related because “their side” has adopted that Trump wants border security so they must be fully against it.

You could pick any wedge issue and find a more reasonable time for it)
