and the most interesting part of the whole situation is that the other side most likely thinks the same

Except there's no need to hypothesize about what the "the other side" wants. They have been perfectly vocal about what they think are issues that need to be "solved":

  • Accurate history lessons
  • Transgender people
  • Women's ability to have deadly ectopic pregnancies removed
  • "Urban" people
  • The right to protest against the flag
  • Gay people

If you have enough knowledge of history to know what a "final solution" looks like, you are justified in seeing "the other side" as the main problem.

Not really. Right wingers seem to like centrists.

But since these are mutually exclusive propositions, only one side can actually be correct. Do you really think it's more likely to be the science-denying conspiracy-minded side? The side that elected a transparent con man and buffoon, and appears to want to elect him again?
