And so I think saying the two sides are kind of both too extreme.
I don't think that describes where the policy debate is.
Now, I will concede this on the rhetoric.
There is a fair point to be made that both sides can use overheated rhetoric.
I think the Democrats do so routinely when they call ICE, for example, Nazis and Gestapo, and they call for doxing and going after the families of law enforcement officers.

But I do try to talk about policies and say it is an objectively unreasonable policy to support open borders and to just take away the paychecks of law enforcement officers forever.
And that is the position of the Democrat Party.
I think that's the way we ought to have political discussions on substance and merits rather than making it personal.
