You're saying stuff here that doesn't match how I see things, and I know you're smart and informed, so I'm hoping you can give me some specifics, either so I can expand my understanding, or try to convince you otherwise.
Who, specifically, is in the "larger portion of the left that just want to be contrarians"? Skip BLM, they are not are large portion of the left. DSA? Pro-Palestine? I see those as actually pretty small parts of the left that get disproportionately large press because scary stuff gets clicks.
What are the specific things "the left" is doing to stick it to "the right"? And again, how are you defining "the left" here?
Thanks!

There's a larger portion of the left that just want to be contrarians. I think it's the Dunning-Kruger Effect? You know enough about something to think that you're right, but not enough about it to know that you're wrong. I think I'm getting that right.
The right and the left have been fighting a battle of how to stick it to one another. Both sides have become mobs with no hopes of consensus.
The right are just monsters with zero concerns.
The left are just monsters with zero concerns.
Right now, the left is Mike Tyson on auto-pilot. We don't want the right to be Buster Douglas whose mama just died.
