From my perspective, Both sides are in more of a Extremism vs Extremism media fueled battle. The result is hyper partisanship that has caused the current dysfunctional Congress. So bad that neither will say yes to anything the other offers up. 

Anyways, i messed up my political pro-noun. I'm Moderate, not progressive. My type tends to be progressive on Social issues and Conservative on fiscal issues.

Give it some time and things will swing back to more middle ground, politics cycles like this from time to time.
You saw the backlash the Extremists got on the Veteran's bill from inside the party. As I said, only a matter of time before it crashes down on the extremists that have been pushing it lately.

That bernie lost a nomination doesn't create an equivalence between a big tent party and a regime party with an infallible leader whose "truths" become a litmus test for all nominees.

O-Mike, "both sides" are not guilty of "hyper partisanship." 

One side attempted a coup. 

when the other side fights to preserve our democracy, that doesn't make "both sides" hyper partisan.   

And to repeat--"both sides" are not attempting a coup.

There has NEVER in U.S. history been an attempted coup as part of some "cycle." 

The backlash "extremists" got for fighting a good bill is not going to change anything. If anything, your "extremists" will just become more extreme. Remember, people thought the Capitol insurgency would force the GOP to come to its senses. Now its candidates affirm the big lie as a test of office. The mass of Republicans now are Trumpists and they will purge Republicans who don't agree with them. Like you.
