Comment on Am I crazy, or are Americans going insane?

have you ever considered that the whole “left”, “right” “center” labels are meaningless to real people? they’re a tool of the same MSM you mention to make people think there’s more of a divide than there is.

sure there are ideologies that those labels can roughly categorize, but real people with real opinions rarely fit neatly into simple categories

No, I think a lot of people definitely see themselves on one side or the other.

  and that has nothing to do with the MSM making them think that way?

    I think MSM has made it worse, they’ve pushed the two sides further apart. But political parties have been around longer than MSM, so I think people will naturally align with one side or another. Having only two major political parties makes this even easier.
