Caren, I appreciate your great writing and perspective, and I also wish that we could evolve from this binary either/or thinking, which is polarizing society without adding any value.

Fox news is a corrupt and government-owned propaganda machine, true, but it has coined a useful term in recent months: "the exhausted majority". This refers to the large and growing swath of population that is neither interested in the fascist narrative of the new right, nor the Trotskyisms of the far left, and is noting the absence of moderate narrative in television and digital media. The center has been removed. Probably neither the red tent nor the blue tent is competent to guide us through the next decade of human evolution.
