Jennifer Rubin: “While it’s true that the country is more deeply divided along partisan lines than it has been in the past, it is wrong to suggest a symmetrical devolution into irrational hatred. The polarization argument too often treats both sides as equally worthy of blame, characterizing the problem as a sort of free-floating affliction (e.g., ‘lack of trust’).”

“This blurs the distinction between a Democratic Party that is marginally more progressive in policy positions than it was a decade ago, and a Republican Party that routinely lies, courts violence and seeks to define America as a White Christian nation.”

1. Polarization is just a dressed up form

of both siderism. So boring. So predictable. So stale. The media will never call out republicans, so again I call for the Dems to do so in every interview and in unison.

4. Yes

Republican extremism must be attacked every time our politicians have access to a microphone.

6. Exactly! There's no left/right paradigm, it's rational vs irrational, human vs anti-human

The GOPlague doesn't even have a platform, because if it did it would sound so bizarre and hateful it'd make Nazis look like Mother Teresa.

8. K&R

Scream it from the rooftops.
