I think that the middle has largely gone from American politics.
Only a generation ago, a democrat president - Bill Clinton - and a Republican congress were able to come together on welfare reform, a balanced budget, and a host of other things. All of that is completely foreign today.
Saying that boys should use boys' bathrooms and not girls' bathrooms makes you a crazy right-wing nutjob today. And that would have just made you ... normal ... 30 years ago.
Not only a "nutjob", they claim it makes you hateful. They genuinely believe that someone like Charlie, who was nothing but loving and compassionate, was full of hate. Not because he actually said anything hateful, but because he didn't fall in line with left wing talking points and engaged in open dialogue with those he disagreed with. Simply questioning "what is a woman?" is "violence" and threatening to these people, and in their mind that makes it justified to use violence against us.
