Pseudonyms to protect authors of controversial articles

That seems to be a pretty good example of the hysterical position of the radical left. Checks all the emotional boxes: People of color, law enforcement, refugees, children, and the perennial favorite boogeymen: racists, and now white supremacists. (You forgot "literal Nazis.") Even down to putting quotes around 'side' - presumably to punctuate your point that those who disagree with you don't have a legitimate perspective.

The right has plenty of problems (plenty!) but the what seems to be unique to the left (or at least much more prevalent/vocal) is this Sith-like perspective that anyone who disagrees (or even just agrees less than 110%) is some kind of immoral/evil opponent for whom no type or amount of righteous retaliation is undeserved.

But of course that might just be be how it looks from the perspective of a "smug, ignorant centris[t]."

I'm not sure how you can claim this attitude is somehow unique to the left when there's a president who does this exact thing on a daily basis. You would have to be deliberately ignoring the things that he says and supports (along with the party that enables him) which, well, I guess would support your tagline after all.
