It is a false paradigm, just a tool for control. People all divide out into "tribal" groups and blindly defend it without even understaning it. Most people have no idea what is going on. Im not party affiliated, I just want increased individual rights, low taxation, detachment from "the state", I don't want/need anything from the government and I shouldn't be forced beyond my will to support others through govt programs. That's all. I couldn't care less for political figures, or their affiliations, if they want control of me they're my enemy. Republicans blew it for not repealing Obamacare, what a bunch of liars and the dems are just a bunch of crooks strip mining the poor through these "programs".
