The GOP is trying to seek a middle ground? 🤔 Is that a joke? TRUMP wants to lock up his political enemies. I don't hear Harris saying anything like that form of fascism coming from Trump and the GOP.

No, it wasn't a joke. You assume that because he is the Republican's nominee, he speaks for all republicans. He does not. Did you look at the survey referenced in the essay? Three issues stood out as being "common ground" between both parties: inflation, crime, and drug addiction, in that order. Trump has complained about inflation, which has been the highest of any president since Carter! I've heard Harris say very little about inflation; after all, it occurred on her watch. In the current campaign, her biggest "promise" regarding inflation was to encourage more fracking. As the economy is a derivative of energy, I see this as an excellent way to reduce inflation. But I also harken back to her promise in 2020 to ban fracking. Hence, my skepticism in casting a vote in her direction.
My family has been victimized by gun violence, but we all agree that controlling gun ownership is not the answer to that problem. Better mental health care and greater emphasis on family are critical to curbing gun violence. Many democrats would agree with that, where as most republican's do not see gun violence as a problem.
I consider myself conservative, though not specifically a republican nor democrat. I share the authors frustration with government's inability to do anything besides make speeches and pass gas! The only way government can improve is to relearn how to negotiate constructively and in the best interests of the nation instead of the party. Pointing fingers and scapegoating are symptomatic of the times and accomplish nothing but widen the gap.
