We live in a society where the average person can't differentiate between opinion and fact. When presented with a fact that contradicts their opinion, they write it off as a different opinion, and when expressing their opinion, they present it as fact. This is true of both sides. On the right, you see climate change denial, economic progressivism seen as communism, and gun control as attempts to take guns. On the left, you see anything right of the extreme left as centrism, capitalism as a beast needing to be slain by socialism, and anything less than 100% government run health care as a gift to private insurance. There are so many shades of gray that we need to be able to perceive and all we want to see is black and white. It's hurting all of us, left and right.
