Hi. Welcome and thank you for contributing to the conversation.
I think your question is a good one and I don't have a fully formed answer, but let me take a try at it. I respect your view of the third group but I'm not sure it's a real thing. There are clearly people who fall on one or the other side, and have articulated views such that I think I can model them. Then there are people who - for whatever reason - don't seem to be in either main camp. That's fine - people can be as seems best to them - but it doesn't seem like there's a coherent group with an articulated viewpoint there. It's not quite as banal as "red team, blue team, bystanders" but it's too large and diverse a group for me to put my mental hands on. ETA: the bystanders group may, as you suggest, largely be responding to an overall sense, but I don't think it's something I grasp, yet.
