Political Polarization ands how "Both sides" need to change.

Its interesting to me that we define the idea of political polarization. A political change in which views move away from the political center and move towards the politcal extremes. Wikipedia defines extremism as including the political views of the far-left and far-right, with the specific ideologies of radicalism, reactionism, chauvinism, fundamentalism, and fanaticism. But looking at most countries there is, at best, a center-left against a right-wing to far-right. Where is the extremism on the left? In the United States there is the Democratic party representing the center to center-left meanwhile the Republican party is firmly supporting the right and the far-right. In what way are these polarizations equal to eachother? I'd understand theis polarization if there was a solid socialist or revolutionary communist wing of the left but I can't think of any example like that in North-South America or Western/Eastern Europe (forgive me other regions but I know very little of your politics). The only polarization I can see is a firm resistance against religious and ethnic persecution, or the defending of human rights. Oh look guys the White House has officially posted about how immigrants are all criminal rapists then they post neo-nazi memes then they randomly break some law. This is clearly equal to the Democratic party's uh- defense against the Republican party as they attempt to protect the status quo.

Political polarization will not be fixed so long as the discussion is between an educated position and an actively harmful one. Anti-abortion, somehow being a religious position with no religious or scientific merit, is actively establishing a religious reason for a law and therefore actively breaking the first amendment. Oh look the position of protecting Queer people versus actively removing LGBT rights, clearly there is a very obvious middle ground here. Its infuriating how people don't understand that political polarization is due to the freze of conservative politics in the 20th century and its slow shift rightward. You cannot reach a middle ground when you are in a discussion between one side that actively ruins discussions (look at Trump's foreign policy). Why do people complain about "Both sides" polarizing when there is a clear problem.

3/18 - Addendum: I wanted to vent more

BREAKING NEWS: Capitalist surprised when the invisible hand of capitalism is revealed to actually be the fascist billionaires, with the ability to massively manipulate the market, ensuring the working class can't afford to pay for food so that they can buy enough politicians to 'guide' the market and convince the public that its clearly the minorities causing problems such as... uh- making so you can't buy food and influencing government policy.

After learning that, the Capitalist chose to do a 'roman salute' and says we should purge the impurity in America. The Capitalist talks about adopting traditional christian values, how horrible the communists are, and how the differently colored people are lesser than them. Meanwhile a random Socialist is just working to help people and build a better future.

This is clearly a representation of how the Left is being polarized. Look at how dangerous and violent the Left are. Oh, sorry by 'The Left' we mean conservative democrats and 'The Right' bein' them commies. By fascist i meant the average rational pragmatic centrists. duh.

But seriously, why is the Left pushing modern progressive ideas treated the same as the Right actively further regressing into the 20th century?
