It's the same old, age-old old divide and rule. Destroy all common ground and set us against each other so that each side clamours for the subjugation of their opponents, demanding legislation to silence the dissenting voices. We can see it now with the climate change disciples screaming for denial to be criminalised.
"Destroy all common ground and set us against each other so that each side clamours for the subjugation of their opponents"
Truth.
