There is nothing new nor particularly insightful about this article. It's the same tired self-inflated story about how Trump supporters are idiots and if only we could somehow educate them how our POV is right, this would all go away.
If anyone was truly interested in resolving this conflict the talk would be about how to reach consensus and peace between the extremes. But no, it's this constant self-congratulatory stream of "news" and opinion pieces as if they've invented something completely novel.
Notice I said the extremes. The radical postmodernists are just dangerous as gun-yielding rednecks.

Seeking peace with people who want, and are willing to say anything to get, to destroy society is a losing strategy. Picture this: it's the 80s and you're arguing for consensus between the extremes of creationism and science. But no, those scientists keep trotting out those "self-congratulatory stream of "[facts]" and opinion pieces as if they've invented something completely novel.” (As far as I know, radical postmodernists have never attempted to attack the US Capitol.)
