I see a lot of all or nothing thinking in the world today. Everything is seen in black and white.
For example, either people believe the Bible is worthless or it's infallible.
The same goes for Donald J. Trump.
Either he's seen as a monster or deep state puppet or he's seen as a saviour of mankind from the deep state.
Another example may be western medicine, known by some as allopathic medicine or Rockefeller medicine.
This form of medicine tends to either be embraced as the only real, proven form of medicine or it is seen as a corrupt, poisonous form of medicine.
It is possible to find a middle ground in these issues.
Few would deny the value of western medicine in emergency care, although they may be skeptical of its value in treating chronic illness.
As for the Bible, few could deny the wisdom of certain passages, while they may disagree with others, particularly those that represent values from a distant past.
As for Donald Trump, it is also possible to see that he means well and that he speaks much truth, while we may disagree with some of his statements and actions.
These positions are hardy radical. They are logical, centrist positions.
We don't have to believe the hate spewed by sections of the mainstream media towards Trump, just as we don't need to judge him on one or two issues alone.
We can take a more holistic view.
The same goes for other issues, where nuance can be applied rather than broad generalisations.
