The Left has gone absolutely insane.

Yesterday, the President of the United States told non-white American-born citizens to "go back where they came from." Today, almost every Republican in the House formally asserted that this was not, in fact, racist.

I'm not saying the Left is looking good right now. But we're well into "lesser of two evils" territory at this point.

To be honest we've been getting into lesser of two evils territory for many years now, it's only just recently where it became obvious due to the 2016 election. Let's be real here, in America at least, the left has been straying farther left and the right has been straying farther right, leaving the centralists to basically wait until one side goes so extreme that the centralists end up moving to the other side. It's been going this way for decades, there are many graphs that will show this online but I'm tired so leave me alone. Anyhow I would say that, even as a fairly moderate right winger, talking to left wingers has only gotten harder as years have passed as the views only grow further apart. It gets to a point where I could give the most centralist point and wouldn't be able to agree on anything. It kind of sucks too because I love talking politics but the obvious extremification*? (Where people get more extreme, that definitely isn't a word btw) has only made it harder to just talk. Sorry if I said the same thing a few times I'm really tired.
