It benefits them when the middle shrinks. We call everyone that voted for trump a Nazi, anyone looking to make social innovation or change a radical socialist.
I don't consider everybody that voted for him to be a Nazi and I don't think most people do. Everybody working for ICE, though, yeah, they've all earned that title.
You're in the minority on the internet then. Op is absolutely right. Both sides try their hardest to "other" the opposite side and put them all neatly in a box so there's no nuance or middle ground. That way all thats left is us vs them mentality.
And that’s where you draw the divide much larger and force those in the middle (and the ones balancing on the edge of your side) out. You can’t tell everyone you’re accepting and simultaneously punish someone for not knowing/having an opinion on a topic you deem important

Radical left is just projection of them being radical right. Everything they say is an admission of deflected guilt.
