Just a suggestion. I think you are wasting your time giving in to fear and anger. As to the bothsideism, no, I think you misinterpret what I am saying and what I have been saying for a while. We are controlled by a uniparty that Clinton helped to usher in with his third way. It uses its minions to divide the population so we don't remedy the steady upward flow of wealth that has occurred over the past 50 years. You really need to stop being so afraid.
You are a conspiracy theorist, Exiled. No credibility. SMH.
This narrative is, by design, excellent at preventing political compromise or dialing down the rhetoric.
You have essentially told me to calm down because it is right to oppose the conspiracy that is controlling us through its minions.
You are whack.

Of course. When confronted with some unpleasantness, the fearful resort to lashing out.
By the way, you've seen J6 and the reaction that the democrats and uniparty loyalists have taken. Just think when the Trump Bureau of Investigation and Trump justice department takes over utilizing courts in Trump strongholds. You have to be pissing your pants continually. J6 grandmas are being targeted by Biden. Just think what Trump will do. Perhaps you should think strongly about taking a break like Res proposes? Subpoenas can reach sites like this one in an effort to stamp out disloyalty in Trumpistan.

Dude, you just said that there is something called a "uniparty" that is "controlling us" with its "minions." And you provided 0 evidence that any of this is more than your favorite dark fantasy culled from the flotsam and jetsam of conspiracy tropes du jour! If you wanted to sound credible, you blew it right out of the gate.
Just sayin'.
But, yeah, my refusal to buy what you are saying without any evidence on offer is indicative of some problem I have. Hah!!!

Responding to your edits:
1. There is no political compromise, just the uniparty for the things that matter. You just refuse or cannot see it because of mean, braggart Trump that for some reason hurts your feelings. And not playing into the irrational fear Fox, MSNBC and CNN create is the way to get out of the cycle of one-upmanship that is going on.
2. The conspiracy is among the rich to get richer at the expense of the rest of us. They control our politics. They control our economy. We have one search engine basically that controls what we see. We have only a handful of media companies. The war state continually provokes war so our taxes can support a trillion dollar yearly defense budget.
3. Just stop being so afraid or stop spreading your fears on this site. Calm down.

Point me to any evidence of the literal existence of something called the uniparty. Thanks in advance.

Which conspiracy? Who is "they"? What is your evidence for anything here? I mean, I get the fact that we live in a system mostly controlled by wealthy interests, but I am not seeing a lot of agreement among them.

[...] Donald Trump and Hitler are not even in the same universe. [...]
While Hitler occupies a special, and specific sphere of monstrosity, which Trump doesn't even come close to, I think it's worth noting that the head of the American Nazi Party endorsed Trump. The first time endorsing a major political party Presidential candidate. This was years before Trump quoted rhetoric from Mein Kampf, or his campaign briefly posted propaganda calling for a "unified Reich." I'm pretty sure the endorsement came early enough that it was even before Trump's campaign's antisemitic adverts too.
What is it that literal Nazi leaders see, and have seen for almost a decade, that others might be missing?

For those reading this, it is pretty simple. The rich want to get richer and will do anything to get there. At the top of the scale, capitalism doesn't work like Res said in the opening. The ultra rich who contribute to both republicans and democrats want a return and that is through endless war spending since WWII. We've spent trillions on war since 2000 and there is no stopping in sight. They want to attack Russia and got rid of Sanders in order to do it with Biden. Trump is vilified for wanting to stop the Ukraine war. Assange pointed out the endless washing of tax dollars through warzones into the hands of the billionaire campaign contributors and was imprisoned. I think it is easy to see, if you want to.

What are the wealthy united in? Their desire to protect their wealth and acquire more of it. Aside from that, they are not a united block. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, for example, have very different political opinions. The uniparty is a metaphor, not a literal organization.

Hitler is a cultural symbol. Obviously, anyone who wants to deny that their favorite authoritarian is like Hitler will suddenly take the position that he is not literally Hitler, when no one said he was literally Hitler.
You could also use Caesar as another example of the same phenomenon.
Astute readers of Plutarch's biographies will note that author's use of personal names in the plural to indicate a type of personality or politician. Plutarch was too smart to suggest that everyone he referred to under such a rubric was literary identical to the others in every way. There would have been no reason to write parallel biographies if he had intended to do so.

1. Give me a break. I guess you won.
2. We have continual, almost unanimous agreement from both parties when it comes to war spending (a boon for the ultra wealthy) and a huge part of the budget every year. If that isn't evidence of agreement, I don't know what is. Also, take a look at the vote when some idiot actually proposed auditing Ukraine war spending. It was I think almost unanimous against. Go figure. Sure, there are debates on insignificant issues to keep the population satiated, but, when it comes to the important issues, the results always favor the donor class at the expense of the rest of us.
