Of course, whether aware of it or not, you are doing nothing different in terms of dividing and conquering. I think there is also a reason and very clear strategy from GOP messaging at the top to characterize Democrats by their extreme.
If you listen to any run of the mill GOP pandering ad, you will see that Democrats primary concern is pronouns, defunding the police, black lives matter or insinuations that illegal aliens are somehow more likely to be murderers than everyone else. The only people who actually buy this are the people who don't know any better or the Republicans who are in on the charade.
What they don't actually want to talk about is reproductive rights, how the GOP is doing nothing to address skyrocketing debt, it's various initiatives to censor books, inject religion into public school curriculum or actual solutions to the deepening housing crisis.
However, I don't agree it's one or the other or view the world through some false binary choice. And not to take it back to me, but I don't think like you. I think the GOP does have values that are actually good for America. That's why I am not totally closed off to Trump, even if he is a piece of shit. It really depends on how things play out. It's about utilitarian value and what will work for America in the next 4 years. That is a dynamic problem that requires more than over simplified platitudes.
