    I couldn’t read the whole article because it’s behind a paywall, but the answer is Trump and the Republican party made sure everyone stayed divided and at each other’s throats because they’d rather see millions dead than try to work together with the left

      I think they had far more nefarious reasons than that. They intentionally try to divide themselves from the other corporate party to keep us (the poor) infighting. It was a simple exercise in branding.

      Let’s put it this way: If this were the WWF, they were chosen to play the role of the Undertaker so we’d fight hard for Hulk Hogan despite Hulk Hogan being good friends with the Undertaker (indeed working WITH the undertaker all along) to take away our basic freedoms. They like to show us the blatant evil so that we’ll accept the fake good guys as our allies.
