As the bell curve becomes more and more a straight line, it is harder and harder to find a place to fall off. For example, it is often said that Qanon is a group that is representative of the right. I have never met one or anyone I know who has any knowledge of them. They only appear in Left articles. Maybe the Left knows a lot about them but, as far as one can see, they are not a significant group and their followers seem to be nonexistent. But they continue to appear, front and center, as prominent examples of the Conservative political movement. (The guy with the horns on his head in Washington was called the "Qanon Shaman" presumably by himself. He also has several regular names and a lawyer who says he has autism. What he is truly representative of is uncertain.)
Another seemingly peripheral group is those who believe in the "pregnant man," people that the Right seems to believe is representative of the Left. It sounds equally unlikely except it also appears as a theme in the left Press. The USA Today ran its second story this year on pregnant men.
So does that give credence to the idea that such thinking is ingrained in the Left?
