Because all of society's gone to the extremes.

There is no middle path for anyone. You're either on the right, where you're a MAGAt, or you're on the left and a Wokester. No in between...and worse, the people closer to the center are fully aware it's a two-party system, a vote for a party closer to their opinion is a vote for the party that isn't close to your opinion, and all you can do is hold your nose, vote for the person who's view on abortion matches yours, and go home and have a good cry that you actually voted for that piece of shit.

It's a massive paradigm shift. Society has been pushed to accept this bullshit, and this is why you only see radical feminists and paleoconservatives trying to push back. Every single institution and mainstream ideology (liberals/"conservatives" that conserve nothing) tolerate this bullshit, and most people don't realise tolerating transgenderism would lead to transgender activists.

Well, if it is, it's more that the extremists on both sides are also the most spoiled, most entitled, most terminally online...and the centrists know that the extremists are the ones who will ruin you because you didn't give them their way even once, and 99% of it is stuff that most people don't give enough of a damn about so they're willing to give them their way just to shut them up for a second.

(The whole problem is that when you give spoiled, entitled, terminally online babies an inch, they'll take a mile and now they're getting to areas where it SHOULD be the line.)
