I agree with you, but my point was that both sides can be brainwashed by nonsense. I wasn't arguing reach
Reach isn't exactly my point though. It's asymmetric polarization.
When one side says raise the minimum wage and expand Medicare as an option to add to Mitt Romney's healthcare plan (something most of MSNBC says is too much to ask) and the other side says the masks the entire world is wearing are tyranny and the Clintons are running an international pedophile ring it's not something that can be equated. It's asymmetric and to pretend otherwise paints a distorted picture.
It would make more sense to say kids that want to disband police entirely (a miniscule minority with no real media backing) are on the other side of OANN and Info Wars of the world. The problem is nobody in the mainstream of left leaning media believes that or takes it seriously.

There isnt ONE prime time host on CNN or MSBNBC that would disagree with defunding LE...not to mention multitudes of other opinion shows (The View,GMA,CBS morning)
Our MSM is way off the political deep end

The fun part about this argument is the people who say raise minimum wage can't see the forest for the trees. The people who would be hurt the most by this are the people who make minimum wage because their jobs would disappear so fast it would make your head spin. In Florida, a vote just passed to raise minimum wage to $15/hour by 2026. People are dumb.
I really and truly believe these morons think business owners and managers will just gladly accept the loss from their own pockets to give these unskilled laborers more money. If McDonald's had to pay their workers $15/hour, they would go to damn near full automation because of the long term savings on overhead.
Small businesses everywhere who employ high school kids to help clean up and run the cash registers would go under or have to fire their workers to survive.
