They're telling us we're taking sides, that we're radical leftists, because we don't want a second Civil War. Us not wanting to have a Civil War is causing a Civil War, apparently! The reality is polarization is a myth. It's not two opposing factions tearing peace asunder between them. It's the suspiciously well funded Boogaloo Boys tearing peace asunder (for instance), while the rest of us try to stop them. Centrism is as delusional as extremism, and much harder to fight.
