@jasper Yea, they did, abut 50% of them. Which I'd say is reflected by the top half of the image almost perfectly. :)

@freemo shouldn't the red bar be smaller and more to the right, then. Like, you know, actually, the right actually is extremist.

Of course, when you ask republicans, a lot of them are much more left wing than their media & politicians imply. The 2=1 political system are in effect there to suit capitalists, which have a right wing bent.

Like, maybe, when people get angry they get even more defensive of their private property and stoke reactionaries.

@jasper Well i guess it depends on how you want to visualize it. The point of the top bar is that the right in America is extremist and crazy and the left in America is extremist and crazy and there is little in between.

Thats why both halves are bright blue and bright red rather than a shade in between. To show the majority are extremists on both sides.

But yes I agree both sides in America are almost entirely comprised of extremists, certainly a majority. Trump is a prime example of that.

@freemo no you don't agree, that is clear from what i wrote.

And i don't think the left is extreme. They infact should be more extreme because that is the correct position, and the republicans can't be compromised with anyway.

@jasper By the way have you ever actually spent any time in America. They are FAR more extreme than dutch liberals in terms of violence, lack of tolerance, acceptance of injustice within their own party, etc. I live int he netherlands as I assume you do, and we arent even APPROACHING the level of extremism you see from the left or the right in america.
