All the identity politics, words are violence, you are whatever you say you are nonsense is the left going too far.
All the close the borders, "any lifestyle except a traditional christian nuclear family is evil" nonsense is the right going too far.

The violence we see from the left and the right, is because each side allows themselves to believe that a caricature of the other is the reality. And that their side is in existential danger. We saw how extreme this can get on J6 obviously, but also during the summer riots in 2020.
