The Left and Right are so polarized these days that they both are being performative in a lot of ways, and politics used to be nowhere near a shitshow because the game was courting Centrists not appeasing radicals. Centrism doesn't mean right down the middle or something, and I use the Gray Centrist flair in here as basically an Independent/3rd party voter that has no flair but does like to grill.

I still remember the right from the courting centrist days then.... its true that certain segments, like MAGA, have gotten far more extreme and nationism is now becoming an actual matter of discussion...

I mentioned stamping problematic leftie behaviors out earlier... well, nationalism is the evolved form of that. Its basically a purge. A nationalist wants all opposing views, voices or thoughts silenced and removed in order to protect an idealized form of the nation.

If you crank nationalism up higher and higher. You eventually get actual ethinic cleanses and purges. The people believe that your very presence taints the nation or that your removal is necessary for their survival. Often its both.
