Democrats and republikans in their confrontational encounter are like two cars playing chicken on the road heading towards a certain crash.Sensibly the Democrats see the ensuing tragedy and move aside as to avoid a head on collision.You better watch out the republikans might get very mad, and kill an abortion doctor or a black security guard.This is the red energy of the monarchists, and the upper trickle down classes, the blue energy is more subtle, it sensibly points out the fault of extremist thinking to no avail.The people are divided by wedges so the natural advantage of the “many” is annihilated by the manufactured rage of the status quo and their false defenitions and common hysteria.So it is easier being on the Right where all problems are scapegoated and blamed on others.Blacks,minorities, immigrants, social deviants and others are all blamed for the imperfections that we all surely have.The Democrats are blamed for compromising and seeking a synthesis or compromisr on all ideologies.The Republikans want an all out war with a scorched earth result, and kill all, no survivor result.For them there is no sharing or compromise.Liberals need to realize this if we are committed to win ,we may have to be equally bellicose and coercive.
