>All I want is a candidate to run the platform of simply enforcing the law—it's baffling to me how controversial that is. Perhaps we'll get the right catalyst for that to happen someday.

And this is what gives a chance for extremist to flourish. For some reasons, US politics has no centre, it’s always far away from the axis. I think it’s time to have a “Balance Party” in the US :)

It sounds like you might want to look into changing the voting system. The problem with this is that people who have most experience with other systems (immigrants) usually can't vote and have fairly easy exit to another, saner, place. I think Alaska and a few other states have experimented with other voting systems recently. I'm not sure where I've read about it, but there seems to be a subreddit about this: https://old.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/

Unlike other solutions, this one takes years or decades, but, on the other hand, it might actually work.

There's no balance because its all right wing and getting more extreme every year
