I think maybe he meant to say the ""Middle ground is the enemy”" to any fascist like Donald Trump.

That's the way I read it but not only Trumpery. There are others of course or put another way more than the "both sides" buzzword allows for;

One of the winners of this year's Nobel Peace Prize has attacked US internet companies for what she called a "flood of toxic sludge" on social media.

During her acceptance speech in Norway, Philippine journalist Maria Ressa said technology giants had "allowed a virus of lies to infect each of us".

Ms Ressa, co-founder of the news site Rappler, accused sites such as Facebook of profiting from spreading hate.

The 58-year-old was addressing guests at a ceremony in the capital, Oslo.

She went on to accuse US internet giants of being "biased against facts and journalists" and of using their "God-like power" to sow division.

"Our greatest need today is to transform that hate and violence, the toxic sludge that's coursing through our information ecosystem," she said.
