Is There a Monster on the Other Side?

I don't find this problem with people on the right generally, even though I'm far from the right. But it's not hard to grant them the benefit of the doubt and to discover their humanity. Unfortunately, that would require giving up previously held positions that the other is a monster. So you cannot find something of quality in a monster. And even more so if you find something in a monster which is similar to you, because now you are identified with the monster.
