Sounds like you have swung all the way to the other side of the canyon. There's no need to do that. I agree, NPR is a stuffy, middle aged and sanctimonious tone, promoting the idea that if you don't agree with us you must be a brute in a MAGA hat and an NRA badge. Instead of making wilds swings, I moved away from stuffed potato thinking at NPR and began reading The Economist, The Guardian, NY Times and Al Jazeera. The left has a serious branding problem, unable to promote its good ideas and distance itself from the loony toons like defund the police and white privilege rants. With friends like the woke people, the democratic party doesn't need enemies.
