    it’s not. it’s called horseshoe theory. the more extreme ends of the political spectrum have far more common than they do with the people in the middle.

    often the far left and the far right are basically only talking to each other, and they do not acknowledge the 80% of people who are neither, or they are extremely hostile to them, seeking them as being part of the other side.
