    It’s not a big fucking leap to say that the party making laws against teaching history and wearing certain articles of clothing want to control people and keep them ignorant. If you think it is, or think it’s a “both sides” issue, you’re part of the problem.

    The thing about the golden middle is that it’s a thought-killing fallacy. If you just assume people on both ends are equally nuts, you can just stake out the territory precisely in between them and never actually have to think about the merits or morals of any given policy position.

      control every aspect of private life

      I’m not arguing for a golden middle, no need to strawman me. I’m saying that sweeping generalizations like above are just circlejerks.
