Oh it's not just the news that's insufferable.
Even left-leaning normies have, within the span of several hours yesterday, been radicalized and downed the entire batch of kool-aid.
Some of my former co-workers who lean left (not full blown progressives, I'd put 'em generally at the line between moderate and liberal) and were generally reasonable up to and even after the election have gone full "everyone who even smells like they have right leaning tendencies needs to be cancelled and exiled immediately".
Like, I had a good relationship with these folks, and visit the office and shoot the shit every time I take a trip near there, shoot the shit, play some foosball, etc...
One of them posted an extremely exaggerated bit of misinformation blaming the right wing for the entire year, and all I did was comment that "This isn't a one-party issue, it's an issue of extremism and extremists, whether left or right they need to be focused on equally while everyone else needs to come together and start talking and understanding each other. Otherwise the extremism will only grow and we'll end up in another civil war before we know it".
I'm a centrist (socially-libertarian, centrist on other issues except 1A and 2A as I'm strong supporters of both of those). They know this, and they know my political stances.
I got cussed out by almost everyone of them, with them half flat out believing that the left-wing rioters aren't even bad, since they're fighting for "human rights" (even though they're actually fighting to overthrow the government and replace it with a communist/anarcho-communist government) and the other half flat out denying that there was any left-wing violence at all and that it was only peaceful protests, especially in Seattle (lol).
I then got told I'm no longer welcome to drop by and visit, because I've "gone too far to the right and am just as dangerous as the terrorists that invaded the capital".
It's shitty. But the really shitty part is when you realize, within the span of a day, how the overton window likely permanently shifted by not just 1, but several degrees, and all this "anti-Trump/anti-right wing anything/disagreeing with me is treason" shit we've had is not going to let up for a damn minute.
