As per my early point, the people who run America are quite content to fund both 'sides' in elections and then watch the proles fight like rats in a sack on approved topics.
And it works, as will be evidenced by a large % of 'the right' justifying half a dozen Feds shooting a nurse who was defending a peppersprayed woman whilst exercising his 2nd amendment gun rights. I could make the same point about 'the left' tying themselves in knots on a number of issues when it's'their side'.
But don't expect the fundamentals to ever be challenged - those are unchanged over multiple decades (Brian Berletic of New Atlas is the best exponent of this theory I have come across).
All that said, as pointed out above, we've got our own problems to deal with (hopefully based on a set of morals and principles and approached with an open mind and questioning attitude), so best leave them to it, the place has always been a bit nuts.
