theres some kind of lesson in that the persons described by most as "far left" was repeatedly blocked by the democratic party leadership from reaching executive office despite constant diplomacy and reconciliation... but the person described by most as "far right" has been repeatedly celebrated and exalted by the republican party despite never missing an opportunity to wipe his ass on its membership, and has ascended to a position of total dominance of the party.

And that lesson is: America is fascist.

(To put it more precisely, both parties are captured by corporate donors and oligarchs)
