I agree with you. I think the problem is that the extremes have become more extreme than ever and the public is virtually blanketed with propaganda on a daily basis. The propaganda is artfully packaged. It sometimes comes in the form of a pretense of "centrism" or "progressive thought" so as to convince the sh/peeple of their moral superiority should they subscribe to the talking points du jour. That's my cynical view. If pressed, I agree that most people would find themselves in the fifty percent of the curve comprising the center, and immediate right and left quarters. That IS most people. They are also the ones who elect the President. The battle is for their hearts and souls (read: votes) and the packaging of "centrism" is central to that endeavor.
