Conservatives are masters at propaganda, so thus, when inundated with enough, they not only put certain people in positions in power, but start believing and behaving as if such were entirely true. With that said, liberals have sold out to the Social Justice Movement, thus reigniting the culture wars, and maybe even taking them into overdrive. In a scenario like this, a person with no shame like Trump was perfect to rise to power. However, I still believe that most people are some form of libertarian and shift from the right to left based on the issue, but there are just industries creating a hyper-polarized environment that we end up choosing sides.......like if each side was our fave sports team. It would be more wise for the many in the center to gather and demand each side work for them--instead of the other way around.
