Might i suggest that, in today's politically fractious environment , a simple breakdown applies to many of the subjects you two discuss (simplicity is not always a footpath for the naive). There are those on the political far right in this country whose opinions are held and upheld in both state and federal circumstance in all branches of government; their intent is to Rule, not Govern. Government by consent of the people is no longer their intent. They mean to rule by any means necessary. The mean to dictate, to subjugate, to divide. The tools they employ to these ends are now particularly effective, and a public ignorant of these intents falls prey to them daily.
The Dictators rulebook for operation is an old and time-proven one. The tools by which these rules are implemented are new and rapidly evolving. Confoundment lies at the heart of their practice today.
