The real divide in this country isn't between Right & Left, it's between the powerful & the powerless. The Left-Right dichotomy is a veil of illusion created by the powerful, making the powerless hate each other rather than recognizing they're being oppressed by the same people.

The whole notion that some evil group of people in society must be oppressing another is an inherently left-wing idea. You're demonstrating an actual dichotomy between the left and the right just by framing it that way.

It's deeper. It's the inequitable systems that create left/right, power and unpowered called empire neo capitalism. Check out Riane Eisler's book the Real Wealth.

Fortunately China provides some glue to hold the country together. Thanks to China, we are temporarily not totally divided.
