    They are. They absolutely are. One gives you all the social conservatism that the ruling class will permit you to have, and one gives you all the social progressiveness that the ruling class will permit you to have. They both work for the exact same interests. Whether or not the state allows gay marriage or abortion is totally irrelevant to the ruling class, has zero effect on their lives, and they give and take these things cynically not to advance a political cause but just to keep us scurrying back and forth, oscillating between panic and ersatz vindication, giving cover to allow them to shape the world 50 years from now into anything they please without any meaningful oversight or democratic input.

      That’s absolute bullshit.

      There was a story within the last twelve hours about the Biden administration investing millions of dollars in a steel mill in Ohio with quotes from the workers about how they’re still voting for Trump.

      Trump, on the other hand, was willing to let people in Democrat heavy cities and states die during COVID to get a political win.

      Try feeding your shit to someone Kushner didn’t try to kill to win his father-in-law a couple extra votes.

        They are appealing to different people with different methods, but their ultimate ends are more aligned with each other than with you and I.
