Of course, when someone says it's a "pretty good opinion piece," it usually means "somebody wrote something I agree with."
But I think it's worth a read. I'm going to post a link that should get you past the paywall, if you're interested.
Pull quote:
"But the most telling statistic comes from a 2020 survey that asked Republicans and Democrats to estimate the support for political violence of the other party. Members of each party estimated that the support for political violence from the other party was four times higher than it actually was. (For example, Democrats’ support for political violence was about 10 on a 100-point scale, but Republicans estimated it to be about 40. And vice versa.)"
