If GP had used the word "mindset" instead of "camp", would you feel better? Their point is still valid, you're the one framing things here.
You're right that there's a lot of dubious claims out there, and yes there are plenty of examples of overreactions, but it's easy to overcorrect no matter which "side" you lean.
Now explain to me though, if this isn't a "camp" thing, why is it nearly always the case with americans that one political side is claiming the virus isn't dangerous, and one is claiming that it is?
- cm2187 6y agoI don't know that there is that much polarisation. There is a very high degree of polarisation and conformity in the media and among public figures. I don't know that the population is actually that polarised. The media would like us to think so, so every Trump voter is presented as a caricature of a Trump supporter, and every Biden voter is a caricature of a SJW activist. But that's not actually how people voted. People rather voted to the centre at this election. There is some correlation but I don't think you can call it a camp.
