The leaders of the "left" and "right" give us emotional 3rd rail confrontations to have us at each other's throats so that we won't come for them with torches and pitchforks. The issues can be real, so their tactic works quite well.

I used the scare quotes for a reason. The one name describes many is a bit like the one score (IQ) describe people in totality. Depending upon the issue there are things that I agree with on both "sides" and members of both "sides" who would not have me if I wished to claim an association. I don't.

I don't think of the "woke" as left, I think of them as fools.
The true American left disappeared in 1939. But prepend "relatively" before "left" and we are in full agreement.

Got it. Sorry to be so thick.
BTW I'm pretty sure they're called sneer quotes.
Sneer quotes. I like that better.
