Yes. This is akin to death struggles between Crips and Bloods, Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, Assyria and Babylon, Brownshirts and Spartacists. I do not have a dog in this fight.
I wish the bled out ‘victor’ would collapse dead on top of the loser’s corpse. Alas, I know better, as there is no real fight between the two racketeering organizations known as the Democrats and Republicans. They are rivals, but they are also accomplices and partners. This contest is as real as a professional wrestling match. One brazenly postures as a belligerent, the other feigns being the good guy. They take turns at the roleplaying as their traveling circus tours the country periodically.
The dirty little secret hidden in the open is this: The real war is not left versus right or right versus left. It is not a horizontal battle. It is a vertical battle, with an oppressive government waging top down war against the people. The rivals take turns pretending to offer different agendas, to keep one half of the population always afraid of and hostile towards the other half. Thus the people keep themselves in check. The ‘ruling class’ could not hold them down otherwise.
I am off the plantation. May each of these parties be rewarded with what they deserve, and may I live long enough to see it.
