The media narrative has been for the past few years of how crazy the right was .... well this was coming and about to get worse for the other side
I will sit near the middle and giggle of how far radically left they tried to go . It will implode on themselves.

Just read a quote from an article about a Peace area farmer, he calls himself a radical centrist.
I think I might just borrow that phrase.

I like your optimism, but it isn't clear at this point; will the average citizen disavow the extremists and move back to the center, or join the extremists for fear of being ostracized for not being far enough left/right, with no apparent room in the center? We are devolving back into being tribal.

The extremes of both are no different than each
Other they want to destroy the rest of us and
In the end if either side triumphs will destroy all
Of us including themselves.

Will we end up cutting the baby in half? Or will sanity prevail?

A few thoughts. Joe Manchin’s car was being blockaded because Joe Manchin is holding out voting for Joe Biden’s $1.75 trillion spending package. They feel his holding out is targeting the Black community. What is interesting for me in this situation is the U.S. system is showing itself to be superior to Canada in that there is more checks and balances on the leader of the country. In the U.S. the senate has some clout, in Canada once elected the Prime Minister is essentially a dictator.

When the right represents big bussiness and fiscal policies and the left represents human rights and social policies I feel both have in the past and will in the future be important to a functional society.Every 8 years or so in Canada and the US there is a switch back and forth.This switch is an important political correction to keep policies going extreme one way or another yet keep a balance between fiscal and human right issues.If was person that was angry when a certain party was not in power history shows I would be an angry person for half my life.That would be a waste of half a life the way I see it.

I'm afraid you are way behind on the political trends. No party can honestly say they represent fiscal policy let alone conservative fiscal policy, they both have adopted the same fiscal irresponsibility.

And as for big business, in the US they have almost fully shifted to Democrats now for the first time in decades.
