How did the Left and Right become so extreme

A lot of leftists online would accuse you of making the "both sides" argument, implying that you're just some embarrassed Republican. You might have noticed this already.

I think what I'm about to say has been said so far by others in different words on this thread, but all of the microaggressions that go back and fourth probably have a snowball-like effect. One side sees extremism from the other side, and they probably figure that the answer is more extremism.
