The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.
The echo chamber effect isolates left and right from each other. When 95% of your peer group shares your political affiliation, it strains credibility that the other 5% could actually wield any political power.
This is a problem on both sides of the aisle. We’re all abandoning the center.

Depends on where you define the center. If you draw it based on political ideology, the whole of American politics is right of center, and only the most radical fringe groups are on the left. Doesn’t seem particularly useful to draw the line there, but you do you, boo.
If you draw it democratically, putting an equal number of contemporary American voters on each side of the line, the center is becoming rather sparse as everyone gravitates toward the sides.
no, only republicans have chosen to divorce themselves from reality and create their own, including sorry attempts at “both sides” arguments
