This board is not radically progressive. Are you new here or radically conservative/authoritarian yourself? Trying to figure out how you see that since I see pretty decent spread of biases here myself. What gets to me is when I see thoughtlessly regurgitated talking points that don’t withstand scrutiny, but a proper debunking actually takes time whereas puking up whatever clever lie was told on tv takes no time at all. I expect better of the people here, and most of the time they deliver. Plenty of libertarians remain. They’re mostly self contained to crypto and gold stuff after some major exoduses and hits the ideologies image. A lot of the older ones have matured and evolved since their younger and louder days. With the return of literal fucking Nazis and your lack of concern for this, I feel emboldened to say that polarization is not going anywhere. Certainly not back to center. I’m not compromising on my humanity or right to practice satanism and worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster with the exact same freedom as Abrahamic believers. I don’t see anyone here branding half the country (as of 2020 more like 45%, at best since conservatives skew old) as evil personified. Unless you’re conflating pejoratives like that directed at people like trump, or the actual Nazis I referenced as applicable to every conservative voter in the country? Or maybe you’re referring to liberals being targeted as the personification of evil on this board?

Are they dressing up in Nazi uniforms and and registering as members of the no-longer-existant Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei? Representing other people as literal Nazis is pretty radleft. So is bashing religion and using the word "emboldened" and a half-dozen other dogwhistles in your post. Of course you would label opposition to your point of view as conservatism AND authoritarianism instead of just simple disagreement. I'm so beyond sick of this tribalist horseshit. I can't tell if you're trying to pretend your side doesn't exist or that it doesn't absolutely dominate the discussion and voting on this board, but it certainly does.
