What if Democrats and Republicans were two wings of the
same bird of prey? What if elections were actually useful tools of
social control? What if they just provided the populace with meaningless
participation in a process that validates an establishment that never
meaningfully changes?
What if that establishment doesn’t want and doesn’t have the consent
of the governed? What if the two-party system were actually a mechanism
used to limit so-called public opinion? What if there were more than two
sides to every issue, but the two parties wanted to box you in to one
of their corners? What if there’s no such thing as public opinion,
because every thinking person has opinions that are uniquely his own?
What if public opinion were just a manufactured narrative that makes it
easier to convince people that if their views are different, there’s
something wrong with that – or something wrong with them?
What if the whole purpose of the Democratic and Republican parties was not to expand voters’ choices, but to limit them? What if the widely perceived differences between the two parties were just an illusion? What if the heart of government policy remains the same, no matter who’s in the White House? What if the heart of government policy remains the same, no matter what the people want? What if both parties just want power and are willing to have young people fight meaningless wars to enhance that power?
