That certainly casts that complexity you tend to love into the mix...That allows you and the
Mac1958 types to blame those damn “WINGERS” on both sides...BUT the truth is; the Right has hardly changed over many decades while the Left continues to push further and further left anytime an ‘opportunity’ presents itself. That’s the real cause for the divide...simply put; the Right wants to keep America intact while the Left is hellbent on dismantling all things America.
Of course politicians expose the differences between the parties and their constituents...that’s what they do. The thing is; the differences have never been so different.
