And the fun part is that even if someone just wanted to go back to brunch, this isn't even true! The right always keeps getting more rabid and insane, usually more so in the situation of being in opposition to a hollow centrist regime.

The fact that these centrists just want to "turn down the temperature on politics" means they don't actually address any deep structural issues or make real change. So it is just 4 more years of them holding the bag on these crises, and the rabid right's job is made easier since they can just criticize shortcomings with some appeals to bigotry in place of solutions.
