The writer spent his youth in "southwest Ohio."
"Extremism" gets thrown around as an accusation so much, these days, that
asserting it as a categorical basis to claim that one should automatically
be against something seems to be semantically spurious, anymore.
You don't often find "these days" and positive "anymore" in the same
sentence.

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
