When Trump was in office it both seemed to justify almost extreme claims. It made it very toxic to argue against any left-wing position because he would be seen as running interference for Trump. And conversely I think one of the reasons why it's so hard to say that Trump is a hard to beat Donald Trump. If we could get normal, politically normal, they're totally uninspiring left and right. Whatever other challenges await us. We could be on the cusp of World War three...I think things get better if we can just find a way of turning those two knobs on the left and the right.
