Being an independent, no, I'm not helping to pull off the trick. But yes, the article sums up the attitude of those on both extremes. In general, the vast majority of people do not fall for the good vs. evil paradigm.

I guess if you can reduce the argument of a governments legitimacy to a 4th grade pictogram. I suppose the author of such a graph would be correct, unfortunately, I think that issue is a bit more complex than that, not that I think for a moment that any subsequent discussion will rise above the level of a 4th grade pictogram.
