Agreed. This is a terrible take. Is basically implying “both sides are the same”, a staple in the ENLIGHTENEDCENTRISM group but they’re not. Blue side wants to maintain the status quo and maybe, very slightly, make light progressive changes (but again very small changes) while red side is trying to destroy social safety nets (cutting socials security), women’s autonomy (roe vs wade and more) and democracy itself (Jan 6). That’s not to mention that Republicans for the most part built their ideology based off hate. Their drive comes from reactionary outrage.

Democrats: “Stop genocide now!”
Republicans: “We won’t stop the genocide!”
Centrists: “Can’t we find a middle ground here? How about just a little genocide?”
Republicans: “I guess we’re okay with that.”
Democrats: “No!”
Centrists: “Wow, so much for the tolerant left!”
Democrats: Genocide ok over there.
Republicans: Maybe some here too though.
Centrists: How 'bout them Red Wings?
Me: You all suck.
You: “BoTh SiDeS”
Me: You too.
