There's a particular perspective I've noticed, which consists of treating the left as rational individuals possessed of moral responsibility, and the right as mindless sociopathic zombies that need to be managed and contained.
And this perspectives leads to admonitions that we should never 'provoke' right wingers. And that left wingers should be 'responsible'.
It's weird, because it implicitly endorses the truth of the situation, whilst continuing to apply the facade of democratic proceduralism to something that goes beyond what our liberal order can realistically cope with.
