For what it's worth, I registered Independent after voting Republican for many years. I talk about the dangers of Trump and, of course, have been accused of TDS and dismissed many times. You are correct - we need intellectual honesty, but we need it on both sides. If reasonable Dems aren't willing to call out repressive environments on college campuses, the ridiculousness of "defund the police" movement and the curbing of parental rights with respect to their children's gender identity issues, they can't come down hard on GOP not pushing back on MAGA.
There are plenty of Democrats who do voice support for exactly those positions but the media is only interested in controversy so defending moderate positions gets very little attention.

100% agree, but the problem on the GOP side is a Code Blue at the moment and the Dems aren't anywhere near that these days.
