I don't think it helps that both sides have also been pigeon-holed into having to defend the more extreme aspects of their political affiliation, even if they don't even agree with their philosophy. Like right folk being forced into arguments about racist bigotry, and the left folk having to defend their more authoritative, rabid variety... makes for a nasty picture at the dinner table all things considered.

...off topic...I love the way you call us all ‘folk’....



...but yeah, I agree...with the pigeon holing and ‘boxing up and labelling the box’...in a present day that apparently doesn’t like to be pigeon holed, labelled or boxed...an apparent ‘individual’ society...it’s become like a chicken and egg situation of which came first..no it was you, no it was you...I beg to differ etc....
